CRT
Simulate a curved CRT monitor with chromatic aberration — barrel distortion, color fringing at edges, and dark vignette corners.
About this effect
CRT goes beyond simple scanlines by modeling the physical properties of a cathode-ray tube display. It applies barrel distortion that curves the image inward at the edges (that subtle 'fishbowl' effect of old monitors), chromatic aberration that separates colors toward the corners, and a dark vignette that frames the image.
Control curvature strength, chromatic aberration intensity, and vignette darkness independently. Combined with Scanlines and RGB Shift, CRT creates the most convincing retro-monitor illusion in any online tool.
