Photo Effects

Glitch, scratches, scanlines in one slider

A free, in-browser photo effects editor for adding glitch, scratch, bloom, and scanline effects to your images. Dial in the intensity to create a retro VHS look, glitch art, or vaporwave aesthetic for creative social posts. No signup, no watermark.

Free access has limits shown in the editor. Premium increases limits; AI generations require separate coins.

  1. Upload your photo — Open zebra.tg/effects and drop in or select the image you want to stylize. Everything runs in your browser, so the photo stays on your device.
  2. Pick an effect — Choose from glitch (with RGB split, slicing, and scanlines), scratch, bloom, or scanlines depending on the look you're after.
  3. Adjust the intensity — Use the intensity slider to control how strong the effect is, from a subtle texture to a heavy, broken-signal glitch.
  4. Preview and fine-tune — Check the live preview and tweak the effect or intensity until you get the retro, VHS, or vaporwave vibe you want.
  5. Download your image — Save the finished photo straight to your device, with no watermark added.

Is the photo effects tool free?

What effects can I apply?

You can apply a glitch effect (including RGB split, slicing, and scanlines), plus scratch, bloom, and scanline effects. Each one has an adjustable intensity slider.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The editor runs in your phone's web browser, so you can add effects on mobile without installing an app.

Are my photos private?

Yes. The effects are applied right in your browser, so your photos are processed on your own device rather than uploaded to a server.

What look is this tool best for?

It's best for retro and VHS-style images, glitch art, and the vaporwave aesthetic, which makes it a good fit for eye-catching, creative social media posts.

Do I need to create an account?
