Explore the Features

A full glitch studio in your browser.

Decimation Lab brings effects, layers, brushes and AI into one workspace. Start with an image or video, combine the tools, and build a look that’s yours.

110+ effects

Pixel sorting, datamosh, CRT, halftone and more across 10 categories. Combine them into a stack of your own.

Randomize & presets

Shuffle a stack or its settings. Save the combinations you like, then import or export your preset library.

Full-resolution exports

Export full-size images as PNG, JPEG or WebP, and videos as WebM. Upscale images 2× or 4× when you need more resolution.

AI: API & local

Generate and edit with your own AI API keys, or run compatible models on your hardware through the Local AI companion engine.

Layers

Give each layer its own effects, opacity and blend mode. Move, scale and rotate layers to bring the composition together.

Canvas tools

Brush effects in or out, make selections, paint, add text and crop your canvas. Shape the details as well as the overall look.

Everything you need to break images and video beautifully

Complete layer system

Stack layers, each with its own effect chain, opacity and blend mode. Move, scale, rotate and feather them on the canvas, then combine them with 10 blend modes.

Advanced parameter controls

Start with the main controls, then open Advanced for finer adjustments. Shape each effect with sliders, menus and precise values.

Animate any parameter

Animate any slider with sine, triangle, saw, ramp or hold. Start with a still image, give its effects a little movement, then export a clip that loops seamlessly.

Glitch video, not just images

MP4, WebM or MOV, any length, glitched in real time as it plays. Export the whole thing or just the section you mark, at up to 60 fps with the original audio.

Flexible masking system

Give each effect its own mask. Let it through by brightness, edges, color or transparency, and use the canvas, another layer or an uploaded image as the source.

Paint the glitch in or erase it out

Paint effects in or out by hand, on one effect or the whole stack. The pixel-sort brush drags sorted streaks wherever you stroke. Keep the parts you like and restore the places you want to leave alone.

Select exactly what you need

Draw a rectangle, trace a shape with Lasso, or pick a matching color with Magic Wand. Add to a selection, subtract from it, or feather its edge before you paint, erase or make a mask.

Canvas tools for paint and text

Paint onto your own layers, add editable text, and combine them with the rest of your image. Shape the result with brush controls, typography, layer transforms and blending.

Advanced preset system

Load a built-in preset or save an effect stack of your own. Export your preset library to back it up, share it, or import it into another browser. Your favorite combinations are ready for the next image or video.

Custom Effect card with Drift and Bands sliders, Advanced expanded to show Speed, and green label values in its GLSL code

Write an effect of your own

Start from an example or write your own GLSL effect. Turn its parameters into sliders and color controls, then combine it with the built-in effects, masks and animation tools.

Generate a starting image, or change the one you have

Source image generation

Turn a prompt into a new image, then bring it onto the canvas.

AI effect card

Describe a change to the image in your stack. Generate a result, then keep building on it.

Connect an API. Or run AI locally.

Choose where your AI runs. Use either connection for source image generation and the AI effect card.

AI APIs

Connect your own provider keys and work with cloud models.

Local AI

Run compatible models on your hardware with the Local AI companion engine.

Quick randomization feature

Roll a new effect stack, or randomize the parameters of the effects you already have. Choose which effects can appear and how many to use, then keep refining or try another combination.

Variation system for quick iteration

Render a grid of alternatives at once — mutate the look you have, or build new stacks from nothing. Keep what works, reroll the rest, take the lot as a ZIP. Each one carries the seed that made it, so a happy accident is reproducible instead of lost.

Ten categories of destruction

Click a category to expand its effects. Selecting an effect switches the live before & after slider preview on the right.

110+ effects and counting
