How to use rgb glitch effect

  1. 1
    Add a portrait or sign

    High-contrast subjects with a clear outline keep their shape while the channels bleed around them.

  2. 2
    Set displacement

    Moderate values (8-20px) read as a stylized edit; large values tip into full signal-lost chaos.

  3. 3
    Export the corruption

    The glitched image downloads as a JPEG, ready for album art, avatars or socials.

About rgb glitch effect

The RGB glitch splits a photo into its red, green and blue channels and displaces horizontal bands of each, recreating the corrupted-art look of broken screens and old tapes. A single displacement slider controls how sick the effect gets, and the whole thing is rendered on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Is the glitch random every run?

The banding is deterministic, so two runs on the same image produce the same output — no rerolls while you are trying to match a post style.

Can I keep colour channel separations?

Select the RGB split style at a low displacement to get a subtle chromatic aberration instead of a hard glitch.
