FAQ

What is posterization?

Posterization is the conversion of a continuous gradation of tone to several regions of fewer tones, with abrupt changes from one tone to another.

Why use this effect?

It's great for graphic design, creating vector-like art from photos, or printing processes (like screen printing) that require a limited number of ink colors.

Does it reduce file size?

Often, yes. Since there are fewer unique colors, formats like PNG can compress the image more efficiently.
