Glitch Art

Janelle Shane feeds neural networks recipes, paint names and knitting patterns, then reports the wreckage with real affection.

Upload any file and receive a genuinely corrupted version back. Built for missing deadlines, used mostly for art.

The same premise with different flavours of damage — choose the format and how thoroughly you want it ruined.

Google's hallucinating network turned into a service, still perfectly capable of putting dog faces into absolutely everything.

Turns any image into one-bit dithered grain, with a choice of classic algorithms and a two-colour palette picker.

Dithering aimed squarely at the chunky, ugly end of the spectrum, with palettes lifted from old hardware.

Serious dithering workbench with dozens of algorithms, custom palettes, live preview and a video mode as well.

Long-running newsletter and link hoard for glitch art — tools, artists and the occasional genuinely disquieting find.

Vector halftone generator that rebuilds an image out of dots, lines or waves and exports it as clean SVG.

Warps a photograph through a draggable mesh, so faces melt by exactly as much as you decide they should.

Drags the guts of a JPEG around with three sliders, producing the smeared colour blocks that only broken files make.

Runs an image through the exact stack of saturation, JPEG damage and stray emoji that makes a meme look reposted eight times.

Airtight's glitch lab, stacking VHS tracking errors, pixel sorting and RGB shift over a photo, a clip or your webcam.

The scene's main feed: databent photos, broken televisions and corrupted video, with the technique usually in the comments.
