## What it is
A browser-based web app (also available as a desktop app) that corrupts JPEG image bytes to produce glitch-art effects, with real-time slider controls. The underlying glitch effect is also available as a separate library, glitch-canvas.

## Use cases
- glitch images with jpg encoding
- create glitch art from my photos in the browser
- corrupt jpeg files for artistic effects
- apply datamosh-style glitch effects to images
- offline image glitching tool
- experiment with jpeg compression artifacts

## When to choose
- you want a quick, no-install browser tool for glitching images
- you need real-time preview while adjusting glitch parameters
- you want an offline-capable PWA for image corruption

## When to avoid
- you need programmatic glitching in your own code (use glitch-canvas instead)
- you need non-JPEG image formats or batch processing
- you need actively maintained software with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: image-processing
- domain: image-processing, graphics, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: glitch-art, jpeg-corruption, pwa, webapp, creative-coding, offline-first, web-server, desktop
