Pipeline

Build stacks
you can keep editing.

Reorder, disable, duplicate and save effect recipes until you are ready to export.

Modular stack

Reorder, disable and duplicate effects without flattening the source image.

Real-time

Instant feedback on a downscaled image so heavy stacks stay snappy.

65 effects, 6 categories

Databending, RGB split, pixelation, dithers, palette maps, CRT passes and color tools.

Full-resolution out

Export reruns the stack on the original image, with PNG, JPEG and WebP output.

Save & share

Per-effect and whole-stack presets you can share with one string.

Yours alone

Files stay on your machine. No cloud, no telemetry.

Effects

Combine effects into editable recipes.

The library gives you the parts. The stack lets you decide the order, opacity and blend mode, then keep changing the result until export.

Glitch base

Start with RGB split, slice, databend or pixel sort to disturb the source structure.

Pixel pass

Resize, pixelate, mosaic or offset bands before the image gets too polished.

Pattern + color

Run dither, palette, hue and solarize passes as editable layers in the stack.

Display finish

Use scanlines, CRT, halftone or hardware limits as final display-style passes.

Interface
