Dithering result made from the bundled sample

The sample reduced to a high-contrast moving dither field.

Break smooth pixels into print, pattern, and motion.

Dithering replaces continuous tone with deliberate dots, grids, and color decisions. Add drift when the image needs to move, or hold a single frame for a sharp print-led result.

Before you start

What can I make with Dithering?

Use it for animated identity loops, low-resolution editorial treatments, and halftone key art and social motion. The controls stay live, so the same source can branch into multiple visual directions.

What can I adjust in Dithering?

The main controls include Effect Region, Subject Treatment, Algorithm, and Pixel Size. Additional composition and finish controls are available inside Studio.

What can Dithering export?

Dithering exports PNG / JPEG / Video. Available dimensions and motion options follow the tool's Web capabilities.

What changes on the Web?

Use the whole image instead of automatic subject extraction. Export motion as video instead of Live Photo.
