Data Glitch
Simulate corrupted image data with randomized block displacement — the digital equivalent of a scratched CD or corrupted file.

About this effect
Data Glitch mimics what happens when image files get corrupted — blocks of pixels shift to random positions, creating that unmistakable 'broken file' aesthetic. Each block is displaced independently based on a seed value, so you can reproduce the exact same corruption pattern.
Control block size (from tiny pixel-level corruption to chunky macro blocks), displacement intensity, and seed. The seed system means your favorite glitch patterns are reproducible — share the seed and someone else sees the exact same corruption.
