Frequently Asked Questions

What intensity should I use?

Start at 5 for subtle. Higher for more corruption.

Works on all photos?

JPG, PNG, and WebP images are supported by the upload control. Results vary by image content.

Can I use commercially?

Yes, glitch images can be used commercially.

What output quality?

The processed result is exported as a JPEG with the glitch effect.

Is data private?

The visual effect is processed in your browser. When you choose Download, the processed JPEG is sent through the download-result service so the download page can be prepared.

Different each time?

Yes, glitches are randomly generated.

How the digital glitch effect works

The Glitch Effect selects randomized horizontal regions of the image and shifts pixel data to create digital-looking distortions. Increasing the intensity produces additional glitch operations, so repeated processing can create different-looking results even when the same source image is used.

Browser-based image processing

The visual transformation is performed with browser canvas processing. The uploaded image is drawn to a canvas and the selected effect is applied before the result is prepared for download.

JPEG output

The processed canvas is encoded as a JPEG for download. The downloaded file is JPEG encoded, so its compression characteristics can differ from those of the original uploaded image.

Choosing an image for this effect

JPG, PNG, and WebP images are supported by the upload control. The appearance of the effect depends on the colors, contrast, details, and composition of the source image. Try different settings when available to find a result that suits the image.

What happens to image dimensions?

The processing canvas uses the loaded image width and height. The effect changes the visual pixel content rather than acting as an image resizing tool.

Tips for better effect results

  • Start with a clear source image at a useful resolution.
  • Use the available control gradually instead of assuming the maximum setting will look best.
  • Compare the processed preview with the source before downloading.
  • Remember that the final downloaded file is JPEG output.
