Image Destroyer
A downloadable tool
This is a script for Processing, a free creative coding application.
Image Destroyer does exactly what you think it does, plus more:
- It smears and glitches pixels (with insane amounts of options)
- It does RGB color extracting, swapping and compositing
- It algorithmically copies and pastes pixels from one image to another
- It algorithmically overwrites / deletes pixels in a specified image
- It's modular AF
At its core, Image Destroyer is a fairly-massive processing sketch containing a huge object and 11 methods to glitch your images with. It's extremely easy to import your own images and get to glitching without having to know too much about coding -- just change a few digits, copy some of the examples provided and you'll have brand new images that look like they came from another world.
This also includes 10 free images to get you started on your image glitching journey!

How do I run it? There isn't any file I see to run the program. Also, are the helper images supposed to be already destroyed?
Which version of Processing do you have installed? I'd be happy to help you get the script up and running as intended :).
They're already destroyed (I can't redistribute stock images as-is) to serve as both examples and something that can be used as material to manipulate further with the script. Hope this helps!
I didn't realize that you have to have processing installed. I actually have never used it before. Is there a specific version to install?
I got it running, but even after following the add image tutorial, I still can't seem to get it to work.
Are you getting a specific error message, and does it run before you add new images?
The screen just has the grey box, and usually after 10 seconds or so it will change to the picture with the default images, but when I put in my own image, the grey box doesn't go away.
I just tested it on the latest version, so all of them should work!
I've actually been interested in making this a standalone sort of app, but a lot of the flexibility could potentially be lost. If you find any combination of effects or chains of effects that you like, I'd be interested in including a sort of standalone version along with this if that happens to sound cool.
I'm also sorry if this was misleading in any way -- a lot of my tools are scripts for programs like Processing, Sonic Pi and others, in an attempt to get non-coders into fun creative coding and livecoding shenanigans. With that said, I added a bunch of tutorials which I'm hoping help -- and I'm also not against re-shooting some of my previous tutorial videos. Sorry for any inconvenience in that department!
Don't feel bad about this, I got it from the free weekend a week ago or so.
Your opinions and experience still matter! Thanks so much for your patience and helping me improve. That really means a lot to me :)
