I love making posters, especially grunge posters. Dithered images a cool thing to have in such posters. Hence I used tools like Bdfm, and dither boy earlier. But the issue with these tools was the limitation in customizations, and the difficulty in use. Hence I started by making Bitgrain, purely an image dithering tool, that runs entirely on client side.
With time, while adding more features, I thought of letting users use the dithered images directly in the tool itself. Hence I created the Bitgrain studio . A tool that has a great number of templates, for making digital media for various use cases. I made so this such that it keeps Canva's simplicity and Figma's feature experience.
Let me know what you feel about this tool!

Hey!!
I’m Diptanshu, the maker of Bitgrain.
This started as a dithering tool and somehow turned into a full image editor.
The idea was simple: make something that feels lighter than Figma but more flexible than Canva.
You can pick a template, tweak it, play with grain and textures, and export something that doesn’t look generic.
Still a work in progress in early stages, so I’d really appreciate any feedback.
What would you want this tool to do?
the dithering origin story is actually cool — some of the best tools start as one weird specific thing and grow from there. grained/textured visuals are having a real moment right now and most design tools make it weirdly hard to do.
can you bring in your own assets or is it mostly template-based for now?
Bitgrain
@ahmadhajj yes you can surely bring in your own templates, or assets like images and fonts and other stuff, templates are json files so you can technically make them too, will make more provision to add templates in easier ways ahead!
Looks great! Any possibility to work on motion files?
Bitgrain
@jacinto_salz yes its on the way and in testing, the next release is going to be for the people doing motion graphics!

Loved the fact that everything happens on my own device, Results feel instantaneous. I have been experimenting with dithering for quite some time, and I think this seems to be the perfect tool for the stuff. The Studio seems a cherry on top, It needs more improvements and features though, but love the idea! All the best!

@deepak_singh09 Thank you ! would surely push many more new features in the studio part!
Looks good, but the text on tools is so small on my 1440p:
Bitgrain
@yodalr ah, would surely fix on that in the next release asap! Thanks for pointing it out . Do let me know how the tool felt !
