Halftone gives your images a pixel art-like style and reduce the file size in the process.
Halftone is a simple Libadwaita app for lossy image compression using quantization and dithering techniques.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Three different dither algorithms: You can choose between the classic Floyd-Steinberg algorithm, interesting Riemersma and Bayer (a.k.a ordered) dither known from the Game Boys.
- Live preview: Check out how your image will look like in real time with live preview feature.
- Convert to many formats: In addition to dithering, you can convert your images to different formats to save up some space on disk.
- It’s just that simple. Everything is as simple as possible, so that you could start dithering your images as soon as you’re done installing the app.
