An iconic photo editor to this day.
NeffSoft

Glitch Lab brings the classics of digital glitch art together with fresh, original ideas, all built around the same philosophy as its predecessors: simplicity, power and control. Pick a photo, pile on pixel sorting, data corruption, scanlines and streaks, and watch it break apart into something raw and machine-made. Effects combine freely, so a single image can spin off into countless variations.

Glitch Lab is fast and simple to pick up, yet endlessly configurable. Every effect has its own set of controls, so you can nudge a portrait with a subtle color shift or tear a landscape into total data-mosh chaos. It's simple enough for a first-timer and deep enough to keep power users busy for hours.

You don't need any editing experience to get striking results in seconds. When you land on a look you love, save it or share it in a single tap. Glitch Lab also includes a full animation module, so you can interpolate between key frames and export the whole thing as a smooth video.

Effects

Over 100 effects, organized into categories that cover a wide range in and around the world of glitch art:

Color: channel shifts, inversions, palette mangling and chromatic aberration.
Streaking, breaking, repeating & data corruption: the raw, broken-file heart of glitch art.
Pixel sorting: melt and smear your image along sorted runs of pixels.
Retro: pixelation, scanlines, CRT and old-hardware looks.
3D: spheres, voxels, smooth surfaces and beyond.
Text & gimmicks: overlays, glyphs and playful one-off effects.
Art filters: painterly and stylized finishes to round things off.

Powerful interface

Infinite undo/redo: experiment fearlessly and step back anytime.
Erase the last effect (PRO): paint an effect back out to keep your subject sharp while the rest breaks apart.
Bookmark images: save your progress or reuse a bookmarked image as a mask.
Area-of-effect options: confine an effect to part of the frame (activate from settings).
Instant feedback: drag any slider and the image responds immediately, no render button.

Video

Glitch Lab comes with a powerful animation module. Create smooth videos with parameter interpolation between key frames, and export your glitch as motion (be sure to activate video from the app settings).

Go PRO

Available as a one-time in-app purchase, the PRO version adds extra filters, extra parameters, higher output resolutions, the effect eraser, and lossless PNG saving. You only pay once.
