About Ditther

Ditther is an in-browser creative tool for applying stylized image effects. You drop in a photo or video, or paste a URL, and apply effects from families including dither, halftone, ASCII characters, pixel art, voxel blocks, Lego-style bricks, dots and lattice patterns, along with distortion, glitch and color treatments.

Effects can be stacked and tuned in detail, and combined with text, shapes, images, layers and animation to make posters, backgrounds and motion visuals. The tool is built for fast experimentation, with a library of more than 75 effects and learning resources and update notes on the site.

Ditther runs in the browser with nothing to install and is free to try. A pricing section exists on the site for paid options, but the available text does not state plan details. It suits designers, social media creators and anyone wanting a retro or print-inspired look.
