How to Make a Halftone for Screen Printing

Start with your idea, refine the design in the live tool, and prepare the result for its real use.

01

Upload Your Artwork

Choose a clear image and preview how its tones translate into printable dots or lines.

02

Build the Halftone

Set knockout and background colors, choose the dot shape, and adjust LPI and angle.

03

Size and Export

Enter the intended print width, select 300, 450, or 600 DPI, and export the PNG for the next production step.

Convert Artwork into Screen-Print Halftones

Turn color or continuous-tone artwork into a one-color pattern that visually recreates highlights and shadows. Use it to prepare portraits, illustrations, band graphics, botanical art, and other designs for apparel and paper printing.

The live preview makes it easier to judge whether small details will remain readable before export.

Knock Out Background Colors

Set the artwork color and background separately so the image works with the intended garment, paper, or ink. A clean knockout can isolate the printable subject and reduce unwanted color blocks before the design reaches production.

Use a transparent-looking preview to check edges and negative space around the artwork.

Set LPI and Dot Angle

Choose coarse dots for bold, visibly textured graphics or finer dots when a portrait needs more tonal detail. Rotate the dot angle to control pattern direction and reduce awkward alignments across faces, curves, and gradients.

Test the pattern at the intended print size rather than evaluating it only at screen zoom.

Export at Print Width and High DPI

Enter the real print width and choose 300, 450, or 600 DPI so the output is built for the final dimensions. This helps keep the pattern consistent when the artwork moves into a screen-print, transfer, or layout workflow.

Export the result as a PNG and verify the final separation with your printer before production.
