What is the Posterize Effect?

The posterize effect is a technique that reduces the number of colors in an image, creating distinct bands of color that give photos a poster-like appearance. This artistic effect groups similar colors together, resulting in a stylized image with reduced color gradations.

How does posterization work?

Posterization works by limiting the number of color levels in each color channel (red, green, and blue). Instead of smooth color transitions, the image is divided into distinct color regions, creating a simplified, graphic-art style that's reminiscent of vintage posters and pop art.

When to use posterize effects?

Posterize effects are perfect for creating artistic interpretations of photos, designing posters, making pop art-style images, or creating simplified graphics for logos and illustrations. It's particularly effective with portraits, landscapes, and images with strong color contrast.
