How it works
- Add one or more photos.
- Choose the strength and whether to add scan lines and broken blocks; change the pattern number for a different glitch.
- Select Glitch it and download the picture.
Frequently asked questions
- What does the glitch do?
- It imitates a broken screen or a damaged file: strips of the picture are pushed sideways, the red and blue channels are pulled apart so edges get coloured fringes, small blocks turn into noise, swapped colours or bars of pure colour, and fine dark scan lines run across it.
- What does the strength change?
- Each step roughly doubles the damage. Low shifts a few thin slices a little, for a subtle glitch on a portrait; High shifts many more slices much further, splits the colours wider and breaks more blocks.
- What is the pattern number for?
- It decides where the slices and blocks fall, from 1 to 999. The same number always gives the same glitch, so you can get a result back or apply the same glitch to several photos; a different number gives a different one.
- Does it keep the size and transparency?
- Yes. The picture keeps the photo’s size (up to 16 megapixels), and a transparent background stays transparent in PNG and WebP. A JPG puts transparent areas on white.
- Is my photo uploaded, and what are the free limits?
- No. The effect is made in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device, and there is no watermark. The free plan allows 3 photos of up to 20 MB per run and 5 runs a day; Pro removes these limits.
