Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 45 degrees the standard angle for monochrome manga halftone screentones? expand_more
The human eye is most sensitive to horizontal (0°) and vertical (90°) grid alignments. Rotating circular halftone dots to 45 degrees minimizes noticeable grid lines and prevents Moire interference patterns when printed or scaled.
Can I test the screentone filter without uploading a file from my computer? expand_more
Yes. The tool automatically renders a built-in procedural manga character illustration on the HTML5 Canvas at 0px above the fold so you can adjust dot spacing, screen angle, ink threshold, and speedlines right away.
How do I avoid Moire patterns when applying manga screentones? expand_more
Keep your halftone dot spacing consistent across the page, use a 45-degree screen angle for primary midtones, and export at lossless PNG resolution rather than heavily compressed low-resolution JPEGs.
Does my uploaded image get sent to an external server? expand_more
Never. All luminance conversion, Sobel edge ink extraction, halftone dot rasterization, and speedline overlays run 100% locally in your browser's Canvas 2D context.
