CUTwC Image to Winks

This utility takes an image uploaded from your computer and renders it using winks to represent the pixels. This gets very slow as the number of winks increases, so think carefully before setting the resolution too high, or be prepared to wait for the page to update. (A limit of 80×80 is set to limit brower problems, and even then Safari might get upset.)

Note tha the SVG uses filters, so although they may render correctly on Chrome, they do not in, for example, Inkscape. At higher resolutions, you may wish to use the ability to download a PNG bitmap of the image so the viewer isn’t held up.

All processing is performed in the browser — no images are sent to the CUTwC web site.

Dark mode assumes a dark background instead of mat-coloured.

Dithering uses error diffusion to represent intermediate colours; the low resolution limits its efficacy.

In as much as this is useful at all, it’s best for simple images, not photorealism.
