About
Glitch art is everywhere — from music videos to social media aesthetics. This tool applies digital distortion effects to your GIF, including color channel shifts, scan lines, pixel displacement, and data corruption artifacts. The result is that broken-screen, VHS-malfunction look that gives your animation a raw, edgy vibe.

Multiple glitch effect types: RGB channel shift, scan lines, pixel sorting, and data corruption
Adjustable intensity from a subtle flicker to aggressive visual destruction
Each frame gets slightly different distortion, making the animation feel organic and unpredictable
Processed in your browser — no server uploads, no waiting for remote processing
