DTF halftones without opening Photoshop
Up to three screens, each with its own frequency, angle and dot shape, applied right in the browser. Process a single image or a whole batch, and the tone curve adapts to whether the garment is light or dark.
How it works
- 1
Load an image or a batch
One to dial it in by eye, or a whole run once you know the settings you want.
- 2
Choose the screen
Frequency in lines per inch, dot shape, and up to three different angles so overlapping screens don't moiré.
- 3
Say which garment it's for
Light garments want a dense screen; dark ones, an open screen. The tool adjusts the tone curve for you, or detects it from the background.
- 4
Preview and download
You see the result before downloading, and each image in a batch can be downloaded on its own.

Who it's for
Anyone printing gradients
A flat gradient clogs up in DTF. As a halftone it prints as dots and the transition stays clean.
Anyone saving ink
An open screen lets the garment show between the dots: less white ink and a lighter hand feel.
Anyone printing on dark garments
The per-garment curve avoids the milky grey you get from using the same screen on black and on white.
Anyone processing catalogs
Batch mode applies the same settings to dozens of designs without opening them one by one.
Questions about this feature
Do I need Photoshop?
No. All the processing runs in the browser, accelerated by your own machine's graphics card. Nothing to install, and the image is never uploaded to a server to be screened.
Why three screens?
Overlapping screens at different angles avoids moiré patterns and gives more tonal range. One is enough for most jobs; the second and third turn on when you need them.
What frequency works for DTF?
It depends on your equipment and the garment, which is why the range runs 5 to 150 LPI with no imposed value. The practical move is to test with the preview on your own design before running the batch.
Can I apply it to several images at once?
Yes. Batch mode processes a whole run with the same settings, and you download each result separately afterwards.
