About this Component

The Dithered Image Reveal applies a vintage-style digital dither to your images by default, giving them a textured, nostalgic look. On hover, the original image is revealed, creating a smooth, interactive effect. Inspired by classic print dithering and early computer graphics, it blends retro charm with modern interactivity for a uniquely tactile visual experience. Users can optionally invert the hover effect, starting with the original image and revealing the dither instead.

Features

Hover Interaction

  • Choose between a static reveal or an interactive 3D tilt animation effect

  • Invert Hover Switch: Reverse the effect to start with the original image or reveal the dither on hover.

Color Mode

  • Choose between Monochrome or Full Color dithering styles

Preview Mode

  • Instantly preview image changes while adjusting controls (Don’t forget to switch Preview Mode off when finished to return to normal hover interaction)

Dither Controls

  • Pattern Type: Floyd–Steinberg, Atkinson, Ordered, and Random

  • Pixelation: Control the dither size — from fine halftones to large, retro-style pixels

  • Brightness: Adjust brightness balance to create lighter or darker tonal results

  • Quantization: Control color amount — lower makes the image more stylized, higher keeps it realistic

  • Intensity: Mix between the original and dithered image — from subtle texture to full effect

Optional Tilt Motion

  • 3D tilt responds naturally to cursor movement

  • Physics-based easing for smooth, realistic motion

  • GPU-accelerated for fluid, high-performance animation
