Mote Web, the trial version of Mote.
Mote is a free Windows app that turns photos and videos into print-style graphic effects: halftone, risograph, ASCII art, stippling, dithering, duotone. Mote Web brings five of its modes, with the same rendering engines, right into this page: Spora, Puncta, Linea, Chroma and Glypha, six styles each.
Rendering happens in your browser: the photo is not sent to any server. Export is a PNG of up to 1200 px. For full resolution, SVG, video, Prisma’s 138 effects and every setting, you need the app, which is free too.
The five modes in Mote Web
- 01Spora — Generative screens and organic halftone effect (reaction-diffusion)
- 02Puncta — Halftone effect, Ben-Day dots, engraving and dithering
- 03Linea — Stippling and hatching, SVG and PDF export
- 04Chroma — Risograph effect, duotone and CMYK separation

Questions
- Is Mote Web free?
- Yes, no account and no watermark. It is there to try Mote before installing it, or to make a quick effect on a computer where you can’t install anything.
- Is my photo sent over the internet?
- No. The image is read and rendered in the page, on your computer. Nothing is stored anywhere else.
- Which image formats?
- JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF depending on the browser. Most browsers can’t read iPhone HEIC photos: export them to JPG first.
- What is missing compared with the app?
- Prisma (real-time effects: VHS, glitch, fluted glass), Kinema (video), SVG and PDF export, full resolution, layers and most settings. Mote Web keeps three settings per mode.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes, in a recent browser, but rendering is slower than on a computer. The app itself is for Windows.
