Dot Artist: dot artwork and diamond painting from any image

Dot Artist rebuilds an image with dots of varying size, following the tones of the original photo: dark areas become larger or tighter dots, light areas stay lighter. The result is clean dot artwork, suitable for decorative designs, diamond painting and stone application templates.

Every parameter is adjustable before export, so you can match the job to the material and the final product size. Exported files are vector and stay sharp at any scale.

How to use it

  1. Add a JPG, PNG, BMP or WebP image. Use the Remove Background tool first if you need to cut out the subject or change the background.
  2. Choose the design size, how many different stone sizes to use, the hole sizes and the spacing between stones (minimum 0.3 mm when using cutting machines).
  3. Adjust the parameters until you are happy with the result.
  4. Export to SVG or DXF for cutting, or to PNG or JPG with realistic stones for high-quality mockups.
