The screen-print poster look, in a click

Posterizing collapses a photo's smooth gradients into a few flat tones — the bold, graphic look of vintage posters and screen prints. Drop the levels for a stark two- or three-tone effect, or keep more for a subtler cutback. Gamma shifts where the bands fall, and ordered dithering breaks up hard edges when you want a softer transition.

Everything renders live on a canvas in your browser and exports at full resolution — no upload, no watermark. For a two-colour version try the duotone effect, or go all the way to ASCII art.

Frequently asked questions

What does posterizing do?

It reduces the number of tones in each colour channel, replacing smooth gradients with flat bands — the classic screen-print or propaganda-poster look.

Is my photo uploaded?

No — the effect is computed on a canvas in your browser at full resolution.

Your files never leave your device

Most online converters upload your file to a server. InfyTool ships the actual encoders to your browser as WebAssembly instead, so processing happens inside your tab — faster for batches, and nothing to delete afterwards.

  • No upload, ever. Turn off Wi-Fi after the page loads and every tool keeps working.
  • No limits. No file-size cap, no queue, no watermark, no account.
  • Runs on your CPU. Batches use several cores in parallel; nothing is throttled.
