Glass effect: any photo through a pane of textured glass

Glass Effect puts your photo behind a pane of frosted, textured glass. Its fine grain bends the picture, so edges crumple into crinkled seams while flat areas stay calm, and bright spots break into small glints. Frost softens what lies behind, a touch of dispersion splits color at the edges, and a key light picks out the relief: a glass texture overlay made from your own picture instead of a stock file.

How it works

1. 01

   Add a photo

   Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP or AVIF of up to 20 MB, or pick a sample. Portraits, flowers and city lights show the grain best, and the canvas takes your photo's shape.

2. 02

   Shape the glass

   Set the texture size, how hard the glass bends the picture, how frosted it is, the color split and the highlights. Change the variation seed for a new pattern of grain.

3. 03

   Export or keep designing
