Halftone

Halftone is an open-source Linux application in the Graphics & Design category. It provides a simple way to apply a pixel art-like appearance to images while reducing their file size. The application is built with Libadwaita, making it suited to Linux desktop environments that use this interface toolkit.

Halftone uses lossy image compression combined with dithering. This process changes the visual character of an image while helping produce a smaller file. It is intended for Linux users who want to explore a dithered, pixel-oriented style and compress images in the same workflow.

MirrorNest distributes the official Halftone build directly from its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published, fitting Halftone into the catalog as an open-source Linux graphics utility.
