Compose words, photos, cutouts and symbols into expressive typographic layouts, entirely offline.
Online creative image tools
Turn photographs and blank canvases into glass, print, pixel, type, motion, and graphic experiments.
Poster
Compose image-driven circles, connections and geometric divisions with clear graphic linework.
Break selected parts of an image into signal tears, displaced data blocks and scan trails.
Editorial posters
Combine type, image treatment, and structured composition without starting from a fixed template.
Campaign systems
Create repeatable visual directions for launches, events, music, and cultural work.
Graphic studies
Explore geometry, signal distortion, surveillance overlays, and kinetic typography as design material.
Motion
Rebuild photographs with ordered dithering, error diffusion and limited color palettes, with optional looping motion.
Generate spatial typographic motion from a blank canvas for still and video output.
Frame a patch of a photo and fold it into a seamless repeating pattern: mirror or kaleidoscope tiles, with optional color filters, for still or video output.
Relight photos with soft window projections and flowing water caustics.
Break the original image into textured fragments with directional scatter, a local burst, or subtle floating motion.
Seamless image loops
Turn still sources into restrained motion studies for identity, social, and display work.
Moving typography
Build type-led sequences with repetition, depth, drift, and controlled visual rhythm.
Generative motion
Use shaders, symmetry, pixels, and procedural fields to make animation from a blank canvas or image.
Texture
Rebuild photos with characters, or overlay type along their light and shadow contours.
Carve photographs into relief prints with bold ink masses, directional gouge marks, and textured paper.
Float pigment drops into stone, combed, feathered, and swirling paper patterns. Tap to drop color and drag to rake the surface.
Refract photographs through clear mirror, ceramic, or pearlescent tiles with independent lighting and shadows.
Separate photographs into CMYK ink dots with paper color, black-ink control and subtle print registration.
Rebuild photographs into adaptive color blocks while retaining the image structure.
Refract an image through ribbed glass with adjustable optics, grain, highlights, and shadows.
Draw flowing strokes that follow image contours, light and color, with seamless looping motion.
Turn one photograph into a contact sheet of full-frame views, close-ups and details. Reframe individual images by dragging.
Reconstruct photographs as low-poly triangular compositions for posters, covers, and abstract graphics.
Print texture
Translate continuous-tone photography into halftone, dither, grain, and visible ink structure.
Optical distortion
Refract and repeat images through fluted glass, mirrors, mosaic, and kaleidoscopic fields.
Digital material
Shape pixels, glitches, flow lines, and low-poly planes into reusable graphic surfaces.
Subject
Let subjects extend beyond a photo frame while keeping the original photograph perfectly aligned.
Stretch sampled pixels along editable flow curves while optionally protecting the extracted subject.
Frame images with machine-vision tracking boxes, CCTV overlays, and forensic annotations.
Slice extracted subjects into offset bands, echoes, and graphic poster compositions.
Subject-led layouts
Reframe a person or object against a strong grid while keeping the image locally processed.
Directional distortion
Slice or stretch selected image structure into bands, echoes, and extended color fields.
Editorial cutouts
Build expressive covers and social compositions where the subject crosses or breaks the frame.
Before you start
Does SHADR upload my image?
No. Image processing happens locally in your browser. Your source stays on this device unless you choose to export or share it.
Is this the same tool as SHADR for iOS?
The tools, parameters, presets, and rendering logic are shared between the Web and iOS versions. Where a capability is not available in a browser, the tool page says what the Web version does instead.
Can I use these image effects without uploading my image?
Yes. SHADR processes images locally in your browser. Your source stays on this device unless you choose to export or share it.
Are these image effects free?
The Web tools are free to use and include the available still-image export formats.
Can I export at high resolution?
Yes. Each tool exposes the still-image export formats supported by the browser version.
