Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Bayer Filter?

A Bayer filter uses a specific threshold map (Bayer matrix) to apply ordered dithering to an image. It creates the illusion of color depth using a limited palette, resulting in a retro, textured look.

Can I use this for pixel art?

Yes! The ordered dithering effect is very popular in pixel art and retro game graphics. It helps simulate shading and texture with limited colors.

Is the processing private?

Completely. All image processing happens in your browser. No images are ever sent to our servers.
