Online Image Distortion Tools

BrushCue offers a variety of tools that distort your images.

Effects

These tools provide controllable artistic effects to enhance your images.

Swirl animation preview

Swirl

Creates a swirl effect at a point you choose in your image. Control the magnitude of the effect with an angle given in radians and the radius of the effect.

Swirl Faces animation preview

Swirl Faces

Swirl faces in your images using this tool. Our AI automatically detects every face in your photo and twists it with a swirl sized to fit that face. To use, select your image, adjust the swirl amount, and expand the swirl past each face if needed.

Fisheye animation preview

Fisheye

Give your image a fisheye lens look that bulges the center and bends the edges. Drag the center handle to choose the focal point, then adjust the radius and strength.

Liquify animation preview

Liquify

A Liquify image editing tool that distorts an image using wave-based deformation. Amplitude controls the strength of the distortion, while frequency determines how smooth or tightly rippled the effect appears, enabling precise, parameter-driven liquify effects.

Kaleidoscope animation preview

Kaleidoscope

Turn your image to a kaleidoscope. Control the number of segments, the rotation and a warp feature when creating your kaleidoscope.

Camera Moving Distortion animation preview

Camera Moving Distortion

This tool simulates the effect of camera movement during a photo capture. It overlays two instances of the same image and blends them using a configurable alpha value to produce the effect. You can control both the blending strength and the positional offset between the two overlays to introduce subtle motion, depth, or a sense of energy—useful for adding realism, emphasizing motion, or creating a more dynamic, cinematic feel in otherwise static images.

RGB Color Shift animation preview

RGB Color Shift

An RGB Color Shift tool offsets the red, green, and blue channels to create a bold chromatic separation effect, producing the distinctive glitchy look popularized by the TikTok logo.

Custom Spacial Shader animation preview

Custom Spacial Shader

Write your own spacial displacement shader to warp every pixel of an image. Edit a short WGSL function body using position and sample() to create effects like ripples, waves, swirls, bulges, and more.

Aesthetic

These tools use distortions to achieve an aesthetic effect on your images.

Animation

Use these tools to turn your image into a short distorted animation.
