A lightweight, easy-to-use fractal software for Windows, featuring intuitive editing tools and a variety of fractal types including Mandelbrots and Julia sets.

What is Ultra Fractal?

Ultra Fractal is a comprehensive yet accessible software application for creating and editing fractal art on Windows platforms. First released in 1992, it has become one of the most popular pieces of fractal generation software thanks to its balance of power and simplicity.

At its core, Ultra Fractal allows users to render and tweak a wide variety of fractal types like the iconic Mandelbrot and Julia sets. It comes packed with coloring algorithms, transform options, and iteration controls to take basic fractal shapes into dazzling works of art. The intuitive interface makes adjusting these fractal formulas and parameters straightforward for novices and experts alike.

Beyond its deep fractal editing tools, Ultra Fractal stands out for its flexibility. The software integrates tightly with third-party plug-ins to expand its capabilities into animation, texture generation, and more. It also exports beautifully to high-resolution bitmaps, SVG vector images, and even 3D meshes. The batch rendering features allow fractal artists to produce galleries and collages of stunning images with ease.

For over 25 years, Ultra Fractal has proven itself to be one of the premier applications for fractal artistry. With constant improvements by developer Frederik Slijkerman and an enthusiastic community of users, it remains a go-to tool for Windows users looking to explore the endlessly creative possibilities of fractal geometry and algorithmic art.
