Photo editing app with customizable glitch effects for Android & iOS, transforming images into surreal distortions
Glitch Lab is a popular photo editing app developed by Ilixa LLC that is available for Android and iOS mobile devices. It specializes in letting users apply various glitch art effects and distortions to images to transform them into surreal, pixelated art.
At its core, Glitch Lab lets users import images from their phone's camera roll and then apply effects like pixel sorting, datamoshing, fractal pixels, chromatic aberrations, and more. There are over 100 different effect types ranging from subtle to extreme, all of which are highly customizable in terms of intensity, area selection, and blending modes.
The app features an easy-to-use interface with the effects browser on the bottom and a real-time preview at the top so users can see the glitch effect applied to their photo as they adjust parameters. It's designed to make the advanced video and image manipulations associated with glitch art accessible to anyone.
By saving the glitched images and sharing them, Glitch Lab lets casual mobile users with no technical skills dip their toes into the world of audiovisual artifacting and digital distortion. It has proven popular both for adding glitch effects to ordinary photos as well as for glitch art creators who appreciate the wide range of effects available.
