What does the Risograph effect change?

Risograph separates photographic tone into an original print-inspired ink or plate treatment, including the edge, registration, and surface character associated with the medium. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Risograph?

Choose Risograph for story-driven social content, custom portraits and gifts, or editorial illustrations when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains low-resolution faces, illegible source text, or photographs whose key identity depends on tiny texture that the chosen medium simplifies.

About the Risograph effect

Risograph translates source structure into medium-specific marks, surfaces, and color separations rather than applying a stock texture alone. Its intensity control blends the processed output with the uploaded pixels, so the edit can remain restrained or become the dominant look.

How to use Risograph

Upload a photo, adjust the Risograph intensity, compare its processed preview with the source, and download the finished result.
