How to Create a Glitch Profile Picture
If you’re inspired to create a glitch profile picture, start by opening our Glitch Art effects in the Photo Editor. Look for a photo to give a glitch effect with a simple background and only one or two subjects. When you glitch an image, a lot of visual elements distort. If your photo is too busy, you risk the subject not standing out in the photo.
With our Glitch Art effects, you’ll find a variety of options to create a glitch profile picture. For this tutorial, we're going to use our Glitch Art effect, Distorted.
Using the blue slider, you can increase or decrease the amount of effect applied to your photo. You can also click on the Settings button and manipulate the amount, phase, length, and horizontal position of the glitch.
Additionally, you can change the glitch effect from color to grayscale. Once you're satisfied with how your glitch image looks, click on the blue checkmark to apply the changes.
Navigate to the top menu to save your all-new glitch profile picture and voilà, you’re done!
Final Results
Creating an interesting glitch effect on your photos is all about creativity. Play around with settings and layer different photo glitch effects to create uniquely distorted images.
