Frequently asked questions

What is a halftone?

A halftone reproduces tones with dots of varying size on a fixed grid — the technique behind newspaper photos, comics and screen-printed shirts.

Which screen angle should I use?

45° is the classic angle for single-color work because the eye notices the dot grid least at that angle.

Can I use it for screen printing or DTF?

Yes — export a high-resolution PNG (Pro) at your print size; for vector workflows use an ordered dither with SVG export.

Is it free?

Yes, with exports up to 1000px. Pro unlocks print-resolution files.

Are images uploaded?
