A browser toy that turns a photo or video into a fake worm ultrasound, complete with scanlines, vital signs, probe settings, and a caterpillar reset.

Why it surfaced

Worm Scan commits fully to its joke: it generates readings such as “LARVA STAGE,” “INSTar III,” and a 16-leg count while offering fullscreen, flashlight, and share controls. The repeated warning that it is “not a medical device” and “just vibes and a caterpillar” gives the whole thing a neatly finished comic premise.
