Most glitch apps just paint an effect over your photo. This one actually breaks the data.

Drop an image in, push some sliders, watch it fall apart. Everything you see comes from real byte manipulation: the pixel buffer, the image read as an audio track, or the encoded file getting mangled and decoded again.

Seven effects, stackable in any order and any combination. Sonify runs the image through audio DSP. Bytebend and Bitbend chew the raw bytes. Pixelsort does the classic. Channel shoves the RGB channels apart. Chroma and Confuse go after colour and get genuinely weird with it. Then you can push the whole stack through a broken JPEG, PNG, BMP or WebP decoder for shattered blocks or rainbow scanlines.

There's a CHAOS button if you just want it to roll something for you.

A few things I care about:

The seed sits right there and you can re-roll it. Same seed, same stack, byte-identical result. Every time.

The preview is the export. Same code path, same bytes, no surprise when you hit save.

You can save your stack as a JSON file and hand it to someone else.

There's a CLI in there if you want to script it.
