Overprint CMYK halftone generator
Drop a photo
Your photo is separated into cyan, magenta, yellow and black, and each plate is screened into dots at its own angle (15°, 75°, 0° and 45°), the way a press does it. Where the dots overlap the inks mix, and the rosette pattern appears on its own.
Misregister slides the colour plates off the black. Dot gain and Ink soak let the ink spread into the paper. Rough dots, Mottle, Paper grain and Dust add the wear. Reseed deals a new pattern of all of it.
Pick a Recipe, or hit Remix (or R) for a random look. Pinch or Ctrl + scroll to zoom right into the dots, 0 to fit. P hides the panel, H the buttons and F goes full screen. Double-click a slider to reset it.
Pro adds duotone and one-ink printing, your own ink colours, ellipse, diamond and square dots, extra recipes, saving your own, and PNG export up to 4800px. PNG LQ (1200px) is free, and dots are sized against the sheet, so every export is the picture you see. Your photo never leaves your computer. Working in Photoshop? Magwave is the same idea as an editable effect.
