📖 About Glitch Image Generator

What is a Glitch Image Generator?

A Glitch Image Generator is a digital art tool that intentionally introduces visual errors, artifacts, and distortions to a photo to create a unique "glitch art" aesthetic. It simulates the analog errors of old VHS tapes, corrupted data files, or broken digital displays by shifting color channels, slicing the image, and adding static noise.

Common Use Cases

  • Digital Art & Web Design: Create eye-catching, cyberpunk, or retro-futuristic visuals for websites, banners, and digital flyers.
  • Social Media: Stand out on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok with edgy, stylized profile pictures or post images.
  • Music Artwork: Perfect for album covers, especially for electronic, synthwave, or vaporwave music genres.

Key Features

RGB Color Shift

Separate the red, green, and blue color channels of your image and shift them horizontally to create a classic 3D anaglyph or chromatic aberration effect.

Image Slicing

Cut the image into multiple horizontal bands and offset them randomly, simulating tracking errors on a VCR or a corrupted video stream.

Static Noise

Add randomized colored or black-and-white pixels over your image to simulate TV static or digital signal degradation.

Privacy & Security

All effects are rendered locally in your web browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your images are never uploaded to any external server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
