Usage

---
import { DitherImage } from "astro-dither";
---

<DitherImage src="/examples/portrait.jpg" alt="A dithered portrait" />

Paper's image dithering shader over your photo, in its own context. The img stays in the tree as the fallback and for screen readers, so alt text keeps working with or without the shader.

Notes

Decorative surfaces render aria-hidden. Put real text on top, not inside them.
With reduced motion it draws one still frame and stops.
It pauses when scrolled out of view or when the tab is hidden.
