How tools work

A tool is a small app you describe in plain words. Try this one here, then keep it on your Fuser canvas and connect it to the rest of your work.

1. Try it here

Add your own file or text and adjust the controls. Live tools run in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

2. Open it in Fuser

Sign up free and the tool opens on your canvas with this example wired in, ready to connect to images, video or text from other nodes.

Ways to use the stippled result

Shape an input image into a monochrome dotted treatment for visual experiments, artwork, and graphic compositions.

Poster artwork

Give an image a monochrome stippled treatment for poster compositions and visual studies.

Editorial illustrations

Explore a dotted black-and-white look for images used in editorial layouts or article graphics.

Zine and print concepts

Create a stippled image treatment while developing monochrome zine, print, or publication ideas.

Portrait studies

Convert a portrait into a monochrome dot pattern and compare different levels of contrast and dot size.

Texture experiments

Use organic irregularity to explore less-uniform stipple patterns from a source image.

Graphic variations

Test standard and inverted ink treatments to create alternate monochrome versions of the same image.

Frequently asked questions

It takes one image input and produces one stippled monochrome image. The result updates live in your browser as you adjust the controls.

Dot spacing controls the spacing of the dots, while Contrast changes the image contrast and Dot size changes the dots themselves. Organic irregularity changes how uniform the pattern is, and Invert ink switches the ink treatment.

No. The tool is free to try on this page in your browser without an account. Downloading more than once or opening the tool in Fuser asks you to sign up.

Provide one image through the required Image to transform input. The tool turns that image into its stippled monochrome result, so choose a source you want to explore as a dot pattern.

Open the tool in Fuser, connect an image-producing node to its image input, and adjust the controls. You can then pass its stippled image result into another node as part of a larger workflow.
