About this tool

Use light, feedback, and refraction as the source material.

Shader Art combines prisms, feedback, light fields, and procedural distortion inside a GPU-rendered canvas. Begin blank or introduce a photograph, then tune the shader until the source becomes a synthetic optical event.

FAQ

Shader Art

What can I make with Shader Art?

Use it for generative motion backgrounds, shader-led identity studies, and synthetic cover and title artwork. The controls stay live, so the same source can branch into multiple visual directions.

What can I adjust in Shader Art?

The main controls include Field Mode, Distortion, Palette, and Grain. Additional composition and finish controls are available inside Studio.

What can Shader Art export?

Shader Art exports PNG / JPEG / Video. Available dimensions and motion options follow the tool's Web capabilities.

What changes on the Web?

Export motion as video instead of Live Photo.

Does SHADR upload my image?

No. Image processing happens locally in your browser for this tool.

Is this the same tool as SHADR for iOS?

The core tool, parameters, presets, and rendering logic are shared. On iOS, Live Photo export is available; the Web version uses the fallback described above.
