REFRACT TOOL
Version 0.22





OVERVIEW
LICENSE
SUPPORT
REFRACT is a simple web generative tool built on p5.js that allows users to process images by applying various displacement filters and simple refraction effects based on shaders. With the program, you can import images from your device or pull an example photo from the Unsplash service, then apply and adjust the parameters of a distortion filter to create high-quality video clips or static compositions.

In addition, the program has a number of ready-made presets for quick application of various effects, plus you can export and save your own presets as JSON files for easy reuse.
The tool is available as a free version. The free version is fully functional but adds watermarks to exported graphics. This allows you to thoroughly evaluate its capabilities before committing.

To remove watermarks and obtain usage rights for the tool, please purchase a license key at Gumroad. You can find the detailed Terms of Use agreement and descriptions of license types below.

The tool accepts raster images in JPG/PNG/WebP formats as source material, and it also support transparency. You can upload images of any size, as the program will scale it down, the threshold value for the resize can be set in the program settings.

  • Image Size: Image size directly affects performance and depending on the type of video card you have and the browser you are using, you may receive a warning that the image size is too large:
    Warning: The requested width/height exceeds hardware limits. Adjusting dimensions to [width], [height].
    For this reason, in the program settings you can find the image size limitation parameter, which will reduce the image to the defined threshold value upon uploading the image.

  • Browser: I haven't noticed much difference in using the tool in different browsers, but I mostly develop and test the program in Chrome on my Mac M1 laptop. In case you experience poor performance, try switching to a different browser.

  • Screen size: A minimum resolution of 800x600 is required.

Since the code is hosted on Openprocessing.org, there might be times when the program is temporarily offline during a site maintenance.

Please let me know if you're running into any issues or discover a bug while using the program.
