- People restoring or scrambling images with this specific pixel-permutation method
- Worth noticing
- At 2048 × 1536, the listed shift is coprime with the pixel count, producing one cycle across all 3,145,728 pixels.
Field notes
The workflow accepts file selection, drag-and-drop, or clipboard input, and lets users compare the result with the loaded image using a restore control. Its technical pages explain the curve traversal, circular shift, cycle structure, and how image dimensions affect the parameters. The site also distinguishes a reversible visual transformation from encryption and cautions that JPEG output can introduce irreversible loss.
