01 / The toolbox

40+ effects,
in any order.

Apply palette reduction before CRT, add grain after dithering, or finish with ASCII. Each stage has separate settings.

Dither & quantize

30+ algorithms, from Floyd–Steinberg and Atkinson to Bayer, halftone and experimental patterns. Control palette, intensity and resolution, with knit, star and circuit patterns among the experimental options.

Pixel art / Pattern / Palette

CRT & analog

CRT warp, phosphor glow, RGB subpixels and scanline curvature. Add VHS color distortion, tracking noise and tape dropout.

CRT / VHS / Analog

Glitch & distortion

Pixel sorting, scanline glitches, RGB shifting and simulated datamoshing.

Glitch / Distortion / Noise

Texture, tone & print

Film grain, halation, vignette, Risograph, newsprint and E-Ink simulation. Adjust brightness, contrast, levels and tonal mapping.

Print / Grain / Color

ASCII, glyphs & type

Render images with ASCII and glyphs, add text overlays, and process the result through other stages.

ASCII / Glyphs / Typography

Presets & batch processing

Save reusable presets and process multiple images. The Steam version also includes CLI access and video effects for automated workflows.

A few things to know

FAQ

Is this a fixed collection of filters?

No. Studio is built around a non-destructive processing pipeline. Stack, reorder, duplicate, disable, randomize and configure individual stages, then save your setup as a reusable preset.

Which platforms are supported?

The Steam version supports Windows 10 (64-bit) and macOS 11 or later. The Mac App Store version requires macOS 12.0 or later. The Microsoft Store version is coming soon.

Can I process more than one image?

Yes. Reuse a saved pipeline across multiple images. The Steam version also provides CLI automation and video effects. These options are not available in the Mac App Store version because of Apple’s sandbox restrictions.

Where can I see finished workflows?
