Jankify gives you two ways to make a mess: build pixel-art space oddities from scratch, or feed it a photo, GIF, or video and break it beautifully. CREATE SOMETHING FROM NOTHING Roll a seed and get a new piece of a tiny universe: - Backgrounds and deep starscapes - Rocky planets and strange little worlds - Symmetrical creatures and sprites - Ships in six classes, from scouts to dreadnoughts - Pixel effects and animated explosions Every seed makes a repeatable recipe. Keep the part you like, vary the rest, save a PNG, or copy a recipe link to share it. Effects and explosions are properly unruly: the seed changes their shape, motion, detail, and debris instead of merely repainting the same result. EDIT A PHOTO, GIF, OR VIDEO Choose from eight handmade looks. Pixel goes chunky, with optional retro palettes and quantized color. Lite Brite rebuilds your photo as glowing pegs on a black board. ASCII turns it into text, while Emoji makes a mosaic from thousands of real emoji. Want something sketchier? Hatch adds tonal pen-and-ink cross-hatching, and Rough draws loose outlines. Polygon and Voronoi shatter the picture into triangles or cells. Drag a few sliders, hit a button, and see what happens. Save a crisp PNG or export clean SVG vectors from most modes. Pixel mode can also produce box-shadow CSS, an HTML table, Unicode blocks, JSON, or plain text. MAKE IT MOVE Turn an animated GIF or short video into looping pixel art, glowing pegs, ASCII, emoji, hatching, or a rough sketch. Set the duration and frame rate, then export an animated GIF, a PNG sprite sheet, or processed video. Jankify trims and scales long clips to keep things responsive. It bounds animation timing, respects reduced-motion preferences, and warns before producing rapid animation. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU - Create and Edit both work fully offline. - Photos, GIFs, and videos never leave your device. - No account, sign-up, tracking, or ads. - No data collected, full stop. - Universal app for iPhone and iPad. Make a world. Wreck a photo. Keep what gets weird. Made by Luke Steuber.

GeoMaker is a pattern studio that never runs dry. Pick one of 70 generative engines, move its levers, and watch original art redraw instantly — every piece grown from a seed, so anything you love can be brought back, tuned again, and saved to Photos in full resolution. TOUCH THE ART Fifteen engines respond to your fingers. Comb floating ink like real suminagashi marbling. Tap wave crests and clouds into an irezumi background. Fracture kintsugi ceramic and paint the gold vein yourself. Bend a maze through a lens, drag the focus of an op-art illusion, morph a living fractal. Turn on kaleidoscope symmetry and one drag becomes six. THE JAPANESE COLLECTION Made by a tattoo artist, GeoMaker goes unusually deep on classical Japanese pattern: sayagata and higaki frets, asanoha hemp-leaf, seigaiha waves, shippō, kikkō, kagome, yagasuri, uroko, ichimatsu, bishamon kikkō armor, matsukawabishi pine-bark, tatewaku rising steam, hanabishi, raimon thunder scrolls, kumiko lattices, kintsugi, indigo shibori, irezumi waves, clouds and mist, and kiku & sakura florals. AND EVERYTHING ELSE • Organic — flow fields, reaction-diffusion, differential growth, mycelium, Voronoi, terrazzo • Sacred & geometric — flower of life, mandalas, Metatron's cube, hex tilings, truchet, Islamic girih, Celtic knots • Wallpaper classics — polka-dot motifs, stripes & chevrons, herringbone parquet, fish scales, low-poly mesh, circuit boards • Mathematical — Penrose aperiodic tiling, Archimedean tessellations, spirograph, mazes & the Hilbert curve, Greek key frets, op art • Fractal — Mandelbrot & Julia, L-systems, the Apollonian gasket, strange attractors MAKE IT YOURS • 18 curated palettes, black & grey to neon — or desaturate any palette into greyscale • Line weight on every pattern, from hairline etching to bold marker • Paper grain and vignette finishing • Seeds: same seed, same art — copy a link that reproduces the exact piece • A favorites shelf that stores the full recipe of anything you make • Full-resolution PNG export through the share sheet Four patterns are free forever, fully featured. A single one-time purchase unlocks everything else — no subscription, ever. Private by design: no account, no ads, no tracking, no data collected. Works completely offline.
