A combination of scanline errors, sorting, displacement and channel drift.
The same image, seed and settings reproduce the same glitches.
Inspired by the scanline-filter databending explored in UCNV’s The Art of PNG Glitch. This is an independent JavaScript implementation that simulates decoding faults in pixels and exports a structurally valid PNG, rather than corrupting the PNG file itself. Images never leave your browser.
