Frequently Asked Questions

The water ripple (pond distortion) effect simulates circular waves on a liquid surface. It displaces image pixels radially from a center point using sinusoidal waves with adjustable amplitude, wavelength and decay. Perfect for creating realistic water reflections or abstract art.

Click the Choose File button under Image settings or drag and drop an image onto the file input. Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP. Your image is processed entirely in your browser – no data is uploaded to any server.

  • Amplitude: Strength of the distortion (how far pixels are pushed).
  • Wavelength: Distance between successive ripple crests. Smaller values create tighter ripples.
  • Decay: How quickly ripples fade with distance from the center. Lower values make ripples vanish sooner.
  • Center (X/Y): The point where ripples originate. Use the Pick button to click directly on the preview.

Yes! Click Add Ripple to create up to 5 independent ripple sources. Each has its own center, amplitude, wavelength and decay. They combine naturally, just like real intersecting water waves.
