With Halftone
How it works
Halftone samples the frame on a fine grid and draws a black dot in each cell, larger where the image is darker, then multiplies that dot screen over the picture — the look of newsprint and comic-book printing. Intensity sets how strongly the screen shows.
Effects apply to the finished frame, so Halftone works with every style, and the Intensity slider sets how strong it is. It appears in PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF and video exports; text and SVG exports contain the grid only.
Tips
- B&W or Sepia grades give a classic print look.
