Stipple Art studio

A free, offline, multi-language app that turn photos & text into beautiful stipple, halftone & dot-grid art. Export PNG/SVG.

Most "dot effect" apps stamp a pattern over your picture. Stipple Studio redraws it. Ten real rendering engines read the tone of your photo and decide where every single dot belongs — the way an illustrator, a printing press or a pen plotter would place it. Then you tune it, and watch it redraw live.

TEN RENDERING ENGINES
• Blue Noise — organic hand-stipple. Even spacing, no visible grid: the classic
pen-and-ink look.
• Halftone — rotated square lattice with area-modulated dots, like newsprint.
• Honeycomb — a hexagonal screen, softer and denser than a square one.
• Dither — Floyd–Steinberg error diffusion. Uniform micro-dots, razor-sharp detail.
• Ripple — concentric rings radiating from the centre, thickened by shadow.
• Voronoi — weighted centroidal relaxation. The gold standard: dots settle into
perfectly balanced cells.
• Spiral — one Archimedean spiral modulated by tone, like a record groove.
• Flow Wave — scanlines that ripple where the image darkens. Kinetic and poster-like.
• Engraving — four-angle cross-hatch tonal layers, like a copperplate plate.
• CMYK Press — true four-colour separation on classic press angles, printed with multiply blending.

CONTROL EVERY DOT
• Nine dot shapes: circle, square, diamond, triangle, ring, hexagon, star, cross
and dash.
• Density up to 16,000 dots, plus dot size, size variation, jitter and screen angle.
• Exposure, contrast, midtone and Edge Detail — which adds extra dots along
contours, ideal for portraits and architecture.
• Drag the artwork to reposition, pinch to zoom, rotate, mirror and recenter.

INK AND PAPER
• Eight curated palettes — Iron, Prussian, Sanguine, Olive, Noir, Chalk, Riso
and Plotter — or pick your own ink and paper colours.
• Mono, duotone or full-colour sampling from the original photo.
• Five paper stocks: plain, grain, canvas, plot grid and vignette.

TWELVE STUDIO PRESETS
Classic Ink, Newsprint, Micro Dither, Honeycomb, Sanguine, Ripple, Atelier Cell, Blueprint, Vinyl Spiral, Copperplate, Press CMYK and Riso Duo — a finished look in one tap, then adjust from there.

BUILT FOR PRINTING AND PLOTTING

• Six canvas sizes: square, portrait, landscape, story, wide and print A4.
• Export PNG or JPG at up to 4× print resolution.
• Export true SVG vector — every dot stays an editable object in Illustrator or
Inkscape, and the file drives a pen plotter directly.
• Transparent paper for compositing.

YOUR GALLERY

Save a piece and it keeps everything: the source photo, the engine, the ink, the paper and the canvas. Tap it later and the whole studio reopens exactly where you left off.

EIGHT STUDIO THEMES

Atelier, Cyanotype, Botanica, Noir, Porcelain, Risograph, Blueprint and Carbon — light and dark. Leave "Match Ink to Theme" on and the theme restyles your artwork along with the app.

Works offline. No account, no sign-up, no photo ever leaves your device.
