Glitch effect stack, slice displacement, RGB split, chromatic aberration and scanlines for a datamosh or broken-VHS look, on any photo or video.
Square pixel grid with quantised palette. Turn any photo into clean 8-bit, 16-bit or modern indie pixel art.
Half-block, quarter-block and full-block Unicode glyphs, dense pixel-art-like detail with a terminal aesthetic.
Every cell becomes a coloured tile sampled from the original photo. Pick square, wide or tall shapes for different feels.
Posterised LEGO-style studded tiles with raised-dot highlights. Looks like a brick mosaic of your photo.
Dot matrix mode draws filled circles instead of glyphs, circles scale with brightness for a halftone-print effect.
3D isometric cubes with per-face shading, adjustable cell size and outline. Turn a photo into voxel art.
Glitter-tile rendering that wraps your image onto a mirror-ball sphere with bloom and lens flares.
Animation mode renders every frame as ASCII for looping motion. Export as MP4 or GIF.
Plus and × glyphs form a hatched grid texture across the image. Crisp, graphic, monochrome friendly.
Slashes form a directional weave texture, gives images a brushed, sketched feel.
Sharp jewel-like diamond glyphs ◆ with brightness-driven sizing. Premium, decorative, ornate.
Vertical line glyphs that read like rain or barcode static, minimal, graphic, hypnotic.
