Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A media-distortion tool that turns photos, GIFs, and videos into pixel art, ASCII, emoji, Lite Brite patterns, hatching, sketches, and geometric renderings.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

Jankify takes uploaded photos, screenshots, GIFs, or videos through a set of deliberately constrained renderers, including ASCII, Emoji, Lite Brite, Hatch, Rough, Polygon, and Voronoi. The controls go beyond a single filter: users can tune cell size, palettes, edge sensitivity, hatch layers, emoji matching, and animation timing. Outputs include GIFs, sprite sheets, SVG, HTML, Unicode, JSON, and coordinate text, with a Lite Brite mode modeled on an 8-peg Hasbro palette.
