How to use Audio Visual FX
Feed images through signal-based effects — glitch, distortion and audio-reactive treatments — for album art, visuals and experimental design.
A short guide to getting good results, plus answers to the questions people ask most.
How to use it
- 1
Bring an image with strong shapes
The effects treat your picture as a signal, so bold forms and clear contrast come through processing intact. Fine detail and small text dissolve into noise.
- 2
Stack effects in small amounts
Chains compound. Two effects at low strength usually look more deliberate than one pushed to its maximum, and you keep far more of the original image.
- 3
Reorder the chain, don't just retune it
Order changes the result entirely: distortion before a filter is a different image from a filter before distortion. Move an effect up or down before reaching for the sliders again.
- 4
Export large when it is going to print
Glitch texture at screen resolution falls apart on paper. Export at the largest size offered when the result is destined for a sleeve, a poster or a cover.
About this tool
Audio Visual FX treats your image like a signal: run it through audio-style effect chains to produce glitch textures, distortions and generative treatments that are difficult to reproduce in conventional editors. It's built for album covers, event visuals, experimental branding and anything that needs a distinctive electronic aesthetic.
Stack and tune effects with a live preview, then export high-resolution results. All processing is local to your browser, so source material stays private.
