Adaptive Dot Engine
Stipple reads tone, edge, and texture, then sizes and spaces each dot to match — dense stippling in the shadows, breath in the highlights. No two renders repeat.

A neo-impressionist design tool
Ten thousand dots. One masterpiece.
Stipple turns any photograph into pointillist artwork right in your browser — an adaptive dot engine places every point by tone, texture, and light.
The engine
Software that thinks in points
Stipple doesn't blur your photo into dots — it redraws it, one deliberate point at a time.
Living Palettes
Pull color chords from Seurat, Signac, or your own brand book. Palettes shift dot by dot, so a single edit recomposes the whole field in milliseconds.
Learn moreMuseum-Grade Export
Ship crisp vector SVG, 300 DPI PNG, or layered print files up to A0. Every dot stays razor-sharp, from postage stamp to billboard.

From photograph to pointillism in three moves
- 01
Upload
Drop in any JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC up to 8000px. Stipple previews a tone map before a single dot is placed.

Dotify
Dial density, palette, and jitter. The engine recomposes your image point by point, live — every slider moves a hundred thousand dots.

Export & share
Save print-ready vectors or share a stippled link in one click. Every version keeps its dot decisions on record.
Practitioners
Loved by people who live in the details
I fed Stipple a phone snap of the harbor and pulled out a gallery print. It reads light the way a stippler's hand does — my clients assume I sat still for weeks.
We projected six Stipple portraits across the foyer wall. Visitors leaned in the way they do with Seurat — the dots held at thirty meters and dissolved into light at one.

Questions
Fine print, in plain dots
What exactly is stipple art?
Stippling builds images from dots alone — dense in shadow, sparse in light. Stipple automates the discipline that took the pointillists years; you keep the art direction, it keeps ten thousand points in place.
Which file formats does Stipple support?
Import JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC up to 8,000 pixels wide. Export vector SVG, PNG at up to 300 DPI, or layered files for print — every dot stays crisp from business card to storefront.
Can I sell the artwork I make here?
Yes. On Studio and Atelier, everything you render is yours — prints, client work, licensing, all of it. Sketch renders are free for personal and study use.
Will it run on my machine?
The dot engine runs on GPU-backed WebAssembly inside your browser: a typical 100,000-dot render finishes in about a second on any laptop from the last five years. No installs, no upload queues.
What about dark mode and refunds?
Stipple ships with a warm-ink dark theme — this page runs on the same engine. Paid plans carry a 14-day, no-questions refund, right down to the last dot.
