What is Dithering Tool?

This dithering tool applies classic algorithms like Floyd-Steinberg, ordered (Bayer), and Atkinson to reduce an image's color palette while preserving visual detail. Ideal for retro pixel art effects, reducing file sizes, or preparing images for limited-color displays and print.

How to use

  1. Upload an image (PNG, JPG, or WebP) that you want to apply dithering to.
  2. Select a dithering algorithm (Floyd-Steinberg, Ordered, Atkinson, or None) and set the target number of colors (2–256).
  3. Preview the dithered result, adjust color count or algorithm, then download the processed image as PNG.

Result

A game artist uploads a 24-bit character sprite and applies Floyd-Steinberg dithering with a 16-color palette to achieve a retro aesthetic that matches their pixel art game's visual style.
