  2. 02

    Upload and describe the glitch

    Drop in your image and name the effects and the intensity, such as scan lines with a light RGB split.

  3. 03

    Generate and export

    The glitch look renders onto your image and stays consistent. Rerun to tune the strength, then export.

Use cases

Music covers and posters

Give a single cover, an album art, or a gig poster a corrupted, high-energy edge. Push datamosh and RGB split for a heavy look, or keep it to scan lines for a subtler retro feel. It is a fast way to land a bold visual identity without hand-building the effect in a photo editor.

Thumbnails and social hooks

A glitch treatment grabs attention in a feed or on a video thumbnail. Add a chromatic split and a few corrupted blocks to a still to make it pop, and reuse the same recipe across a series so your thumbnails share one recognisable look.

Thumbnails and social hooks

Cyberpunk and retro-tech scenes

Lean into a CRT, VHS, or cyberpunk aesthetic with scan lines, flicker, and tracking noise layered over your image. Great for game art, sci-fi mood pieces, and retro-tech branding where the glitch is the whole point of the style.

A consistent glitch set

When you need several images in one treatment, describe the same glitch recipe for each and the look carries across the set. Covers, chapter cards, or ad frames end up sharing a deliberate style, which reads far better than a mix of one-off effects.

FAQs

What does the glitch effect generator do?
It applies a glitch look to an image you upload, with effects like datamosh smearing, scan lines, RGB channel split, pixel sorting, and VHS artefacts. You describe the intensity and the style you want, and Morphic renders the look onto your image while keeping the subject readable underneath the effect.
What glitch styles can I add?
Datamosh and block corruption, horizontal scan lines and CRT flicker, RGB or chromatic split, pixel sorting streaks, VHS tracking noise, and clean digital displacement. You can combine a few in one prompt, such as scan lines with a subtle RGB split, and dial the strength from a light accent to a heavy corrupted look.
Can I keep the effect consistent across a set?
Yes. Describe the same glitch recipe for each image and the generator applies a matching look, so a series of covers, thumbnails, or frames shares one consistent treatment. That consistency is what makes a glitch set read as a deliberate style rather than random noise.
Does it work on video clips too?
You apply the look to images here. To glitch a moving clip, take the treated frames onto the Compose timeline, where you assemble and time the footage, so the glitch reads across the shot. For a single image, everything happens on the canvas from upload to export.
Will my subject still be recognisable?
That is up to you. A light pass keeps the subject clearly readable with the glitch as an accent, while a heavy pass leans into corruption for an abstract look. Because you set the intensity in the prompt, you can push it as far as the design needs and rerun until it lands.
Do I need to sign up?
You can browse the examples without an account. To add a glitch effect to your own image, a free account takes under a minute, and then you upload, describe the look, and export from the same canvas.
