Overview
How to Dither BMP Files Using Java
Efficiently optimizing images for web placement is crucial for ensuring a smooth user experience. One approach to such optimization involves reducing the image’s color palette, thereby decreasing its file size and improving page load times. However, to prevent the disruption of smooth color gradients and the emergence of sharp boundaries in monochromatic areas, it’s essential to employ the image-smoothing function, known as dithering. This technique allows you to introduce a controlled amount of "noise" to an image or photograph, which, in turn, has a positive effect by smoothing out transitions within the color field and enhancing the image’s overall visual appeal. In order to Dither BMP files, we’ll use Aspose.Imaging for Java API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use image manipulation and conversion API for Java platform. You can download its latest version directly from Maven and install it within your Maven-based project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.

Steps to Dither BMP via Java
You need the aspose-imaging-version-jdk16.jar to try the following workflow in your own environment.
- load BMP files with Image.Load method;
- dither image;
- save dithered image to disc in the supported by Aspose.Imaging format.
System Requirements
Aspose.Imaging for Java is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- JDK 1.6 or higher is installed.

About Aspose.Imaging for Java API
Aspose.Imaging API is an image processing solution to create, modify, draw or convert images (photos) within applications. It offers: cross-platform Image processing, including but not limited to conversions between various image formats (including uniform multi-page or multi-frame image processing), modifications such as drawing, working with graphic primitives, transformations (resize, crop, flip&rotate, binarization, grayscale, adjust), advanced image manipulation features (filtering, dithering, masking, deskewing), and memory optimization strategies. It’s a standalone library and does not depend on any software for image operations. One can easily add high-performance image conversion features with native APIs within projects. These are 100% private on-premise APIs and images are processed at your servers.Dither BMP via Online App

BMP What is BMP File Format
Files having extension .BMP represent Bitmap Image files that are used to store bitmap digital images. These images are independent of graphics adapter and are also called device independent bitmap (DIB) file format. This independency serves the purpose of opening the file on multiple platforms such as Microsoft Windows and Mac. The BMP file format can store data as two-dimensional digital images in both monochrome as well as color format with various colour depths.
