JPEG glitch

Developer: Zaebects

Download Free

Produces authentic JPEG-corruption glitch looks in After Effects and Premiere Pro by breaking the compression.

What JPEG glitch does

JPEG glitch, from Zaebects, creates digital corruption by interfering with the JPEG compression process itself instead of faking the look with overlays. It runs in After Effects and also works in Premiere Pro, so the same effect is available to editors and compositors.

The plugin reaches every stage of the compression pipeline and exposes many parameter combinations, which gives a wide range of broken-image results. Rendering is quick, so there is little waiting while experimenting, and crash protection keeps the rendered output usable. No scripting or technical knowledge of the format is needed, making it approachable for anyone who wants a convincing data-moshed picture.

Key features

  • Glitches every level of the JPEG algorithm
  • Fast processing with little render waiting
  • Crash protection keeps output files valid
  • Many parameter combinations for varied looks
