This tool recreates that look for still images. It simulates the same compression artefacts — block displacement, pixel bleed and I-frame corruption — so a single photo can be pushed into that half-dissolved, buffering-forever state without touching a video editor.
Datamoshing is a glitch art technique that corrupts video compression data — usually by removing keyframes — so motion from one scene is painted onto another, creating smearing, bleeding artefacts. This tool recreates the same visual result on still photos.
