Questions
What is an RGB split?+
The red and blue parts of the picture slide apart, which makes edges fringe in color like a broken screen or cheap lens.
Why does the glitch look the same every time?+
The tears come from the Variation number, so edits never shuffle them. Change the number for a new pattern.
How do I make it subtle?+
Keep the color split under 0.5% and use few slices, or lower the scan lines.
Are my photos uploaded?+
No. The photo is glitched in your browser and never leaves your device.
