Parameter Ranges & Logic
Seed
Every frame samples a random seed within your min/max to shift the starting point of data corruption, creating non-repeating glitch patterns.
Amount
Controls how much binary data is damaged per frame. Higher values inject more pixel shifts and color breaks.
Iterations
Number of corruption passes each frame receives. More passes stack distortions for a heavier glitch feel.
Quality
JPEG quality sent into glitch-canvas before re-encoding to GIF (export is fixed at 0.8). Lower values add blockier artifacts.
How the Glitch Works
glitch-canvas corrupts image bytes, then we randomize parameters every frame to keep motion organic while preserving loop smoothness.
Per-Frame Randomization
Seed, Amount, Iterations, and Quality are sampled between your ranges on each frame, so the GIF evolves naturally without repeating patterns.
GIF & Image Friendly
Upload static images or GIFs. Existing GIFs are split into frames, glitched individually, then merged back with your frame duration.
Optimized Export
Frames are converted to JPEG with 0.8 quality for a good size/clarity balance before assembling the final GIF.
How to Create Glitch GIFs
Turn static images or existing GIFs into animated glitch art in a few simple steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about our Glitch GIF Generator and how to create glitch GIFs.
What is a Glitch GIF Generator?
A glitch GIF generator is a tool that creates animated GIFs with intentional digital distortion effects. Our generator uses jpg-glitch technology to corrupt image data, creating color shifts, pixel displacement, and visual artifacts frame-by-frame.
Is this Glitch GIF Maker free?
Yes, you can use our glitch GIF maker for free with limited daily credits. Free users get credits to generate glitch GIFs. Premium plans offer unlimited generations for power users.
Can I upload existing GIFs?
Absolutely! You can upload both static images (JPG, PNG, WebP) and existing GIFs. When you upload a GIF, we extract each frame, apply glitch effects individually, then reassemble them with your original timing.
How does per-frame randomization work?
You set min/max ranges for Seed, Amount, Iterations, and Quality. For each frame, our generator randomly picks values within those ranges. This creates organic, non-repeating glitch motion instead of static repetition.
What do the parameter ranges control?
Seed controls where corruption starts, Amount controls intensity, Iterations controls how many corruption passes are applied, and Quality controls JPEG compression level. Setting ranges lets each frame vary naturally.
Why can't I change frame count when I upload a GIF?
When you upload an existing GIF, we use its original frame count and duration to preserve the animation timing. Frame controls are only active for static images.
Is my data safe?
Yes. All glitch processing happens locally in your browser. Your images and GIFs are never uploaded to our servers. Everything stays private on your device.
What format will my glitch GIF be?
The output is a standard GIF file. Each frame is converted to JPEG at 0.8 quality during processing for optimal file size, then assembled into a looping GIF animation.
Can I use these GIFs commercially?
Yes, all GIFs you create are yours to use for personal or commercial projects without restrictions.
How do I get the best glitch effect?
Experiment with wider parameter ranges for more dramatic variation. Try lower Quality ranges (10-40) for blockier artifacts, and higher Iterations (20-60) for complex distortion. Use the Randomize button to discover new combinations.
