Overview

Dithering creates the illusion of smooth gradients or colors by distributing small patterns of pixels rather than displaying abrupt transitions.

Purpose

It is commonly used when reducing color depth or compressing images to prevent visible banding.

Visual Effect

Although dithering introduces subtle noise patterns, it improves perceived smoothness and realism.

Professional Use

Designers and video engineers use dithering to preserve image quality when exporting or compressing files.
