Dithering Bitmap Photo Effect

This high-contrast halftone look channels DIY zines, 80s Xerox art, and underground sci-fi posters all at once. Ideal for protest posters, alt-movie promos, editorial illustrations, streetwear graphics, punk album art, dystopian zines, and retro-futurist branding. The gritty, mechanical feel works especially well for experimental layouts and lo-fi visual identities. The effect reduces photos to bold dots and grain, with just enough edge to feel both archival and aggressively current. The PSD file includes 3 editable color options and Smart Object layers.

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
