2. Choose a preset and adjust each effect and seed.
3. Additional information for this feature.
4. Select the output format, quality, and size and save.

Finish and load adjustment

High-resolution images increase processing time and memory usage. Determine the direction with the preview first, and output at the original size only if necessary.

This tool generates a visual datamosh representation. This process does not directly destroy JPEG or video compressed data.

Example: Adding a light VHS-style glitch to a human image

If you want to leave the face recognizable, lower the intensity and adjust mainly RGB separation and lateral shift.

Recording seeds makes it easier to try out the same effect placement at different output sizes.

1. Load the image.
2. Select VHS style preset.
3. Adjust the horizontal shift and RGB separation little by little.
4. Create a full-size PNG to check the details.

Strong noise can cause loss of detail, so be sure to zoom in on images with text or faces.
