Controlled chaos
Scan lines, RGB splits and pixel sorting apply in a targeted way, keeping the subject readable instead of dissolving into pure noise.
A distinct visual signature
Glitch art stands out hard in a feed of clean photography — a strong choice for album covers, posters and experimental social content.
Intensity you control
Describe subtle corruption for a hint of digital decay, or heavy distortion for a fully broken-signal look.
The old way vs. with AI
The output is the same — professional visuals. The difference is what it costs you to get there.
