Classic silk screen, digitized
1. Upload your photo
Any JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC. The image is processed entirely in your browser —nothing uploaded to a server.
2. Halftone separation
The image is represented by red, blue and grey halftone layers with different angles. This is a digital style effect, not a calibrated physical print-shop separation.
3. Composite & export
Three channels multiply together on a paper-colored background. Adjust colors, angles and density until it looks right, then export PNG.
A Tri-Color Halftone Style
Real halftone dots
Not a pixelated blur —actual variable-size dots at proper screen angles, just like offset printing.
Ritual tri-color aesthetic
Red, blue, grey on warm paper —the iconic CD cover / poster / zine look. Change colors to match your vision.
Preview each channel
Toggle between composite, red-only, blue-only and grey-only to see how each separation layer contributes.
Local Image Processing
The selected image is processed locally without a conversion upload. Site resources, analytics and optional decoder downloads are separate network activity.
Get the best silk screen look
- High-contrast photos work best —portraits with strong lighting give the most dramatic halftone separation
- Lower LPI = bigger, more visible dots (punk poster vibe). Higher LPI = finer detail (offset print look)
- Compare screen angles — default 15/75/45 is a starting point. Inspect the actual exported size; angle spacing alone cannot guarantee no moiré after resampling or printing.
- Choose light paper — the default #f1e8d6 gives a warm effect; white is cleaner. Multiplicative layers may disappear on black, which is not an inverted-color mode.
- View single channels to inspect each layer. Production film positives require separate print-provider preparation and proofing.
Frequently Asked Questions
The silk screen filter turns any photo into a tri-color halftone print, similar to classic screen printing or Andy Warhol's pop art style. It separates the image into red, blue, and grey channels using halftone dots at different screen angles.
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.
JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC are all supported. The output is always a high-quality PNG file.
Yes. You can change the red, blue, and grey channel colors, adjust screen angles, set dot density (LPI), and choose a custom paper background color.
The LPI-labeled slider is a style control here: values 15–120 map to roughly 12–2 pixel spacing. It does not set physical lines per inch, print dimensions or printer calibration. Lower values show larger dots; higher values create a finer pattern.
Yes. Toggle between Composite, Red Only, Blue Only, and Grey Only to see how each separation layer contributes to the final image.
