Glitch Lab
Break an image into new artwork.
Create distinctive glitch artwork from photographs and graphics. Combine distortion, color separation, sorting, and digital damage to develop striking covers, experimental photo edits, and textures for finished designs.
What you can do
Reshape the image with warps
Pull apart image structure with warps and displacement, bending familiar subjects into flowing or fragmented forms.
Separate and mix color channels
Separate and remix color channels to create chromatic edges, offset silhouettes, and layered digital color.
Combine damage systems
Stack signal disruption, codec-like damage, noise, and fracture effects for broken-screen graphics and dense corruption textures.
Sort colors and save variations
Rearrange image colors through sorting, then save the treatment as an editable project to develop related variations.
What you can make
Distorted portraits
Distorted portraits, music covers, hacked-screen graphics, experimental photographs, and high-contrast release artwork.
Broken-signal graphics
Corruption textures, channel-separated type imagery, broken transmission frames, and source assets for edited video.
Electronic abstractions
Subtle electronic imperfection or extreme abstractions where the original image becomes streaks and blocks.
Related glitch variations
Families of related edits built by varying one effect system while keeping the others consistent.
Poster and promotional artwork
Build a bold, readable treatment around a subject for a release poster, event graphic, or promotional image.
Reusable design textures
Turn a detailed source into abstract fragments, streaks, and color patterns that can become backgrounds or collage material.
Project ideas
A recognizable portrait gains offset color and broken signal bands for a music release cover.
A detailed photograph becomes streaks and fractured blocks that supply the texture for a graphic composition.
What sets it apart
Control how far an image breaks apart, from a recognizable photograph with displaced color to an abstraction of streaks, blocks, and fragments.
Combine independent effect systems to design your own treatment. Create a finished image or a reusable texture, and save the editable settings for related variations.
Supporting capabilities
Independent effect systems let you decide which parts of the image remain legible and how far the rest breaks apart.
