About the Comic Book Effect
The Img Stop Comic Book Effect turns ordinary photos into images that look like a panel from a printed comic. Edges become bold black ink lines, colours are flattened into poster-like areas and the shadows are filled with classic halftone dots.
Make the lines thicker or thinner, choose how many colour levels to keep and set the dot size. Apply the effect to a single photo or a whole batch – everything runs in your browser.
