Want a retro, gritty, pixel-art look? The Dither component does just that. Inspired by Brett’s work, it transforms any image into a dithered artwork that feels handmade and raw.
You can:
Pick from four dithering algorithms.
Adjust pixel size for crisp or chunky textures.
Add glow, change pixel colors, and even animate the effect.
It’s a great way to give your site a lo-fi aesthetic or break up a too-polished look with something more textured and experimental.

Think of this one as a fractured glass distortion for your images. Based on Pablo Stanley’s work, the Displace component slices and bends your visuals into something hypnotic.
Key settings:
Steps: how many slices your image is divided into.
Scale: the intensity of the distortion.
Frequency & Octaves: how detailed and layered the distortion feels.
Flip & Shimmer: for mirrored slices and extra depth.
It works beautifully on backgrounds, album art, or even as a dramatic hover effect for gallery images.
