Threshold (Binarize)
Threshold is a binarization effect that simplifies an image into two tones: black and white.
It splits mid-gray areas by a cutoff (threshold): pixels brighter than the threshold become white, and pixels darker become black.
This is useful for logo/icon styling, scan-like effects, and high-contrast looks.
threshold
Description
Binarizes the image using a threshold value (black & white).
In general:
- A higher threshold tends to classify more pixels as dark (black),
- A lower threshold tends to classify more pixels as bright (white),
but the perceived result can vary depending on the image’s brightness distribution.
Format
?threshold={value}
Supported range
0to255
Examples
| 요청 | 결과 |
|---|---|
?threshold=180 |
Binarize to black and white with a threshold of 180. |
Using with other options
- If you want a cleaner and more predictable black/white split, combine it with
grayscale=true.
?grayscale=true&threshold=180
- Threshold works much better for logos, text, and line drawings than for photos (portraits/landscapes).
- If you’re not getting the look you want, it’s efficient to tune
thresholdin steps of about 20–30.
