Image Distortion Editor

Purpose-built distortion engine for image editing workflows. The tool accepts an image file, applies a selectable distortion type (swirl, pinch, bulge, wave, fisheye), and outputs a new image. Its core value lies in offering precise, reproducible warps without the overhead of full-featured editors, enabling rapid concept exploration and mockups for clients or teammates.
Conceptually, distortions are achieved by remapping output pixels to altered input coordinates using parameters such as center, radius, and magnitude. Swirl imposes angular displacement around a center point; bulge/pinch alter radial distance; wave and fisheye create periodic or convex distortions. The tool emphasizes deterministic results, clean edge handling, and straightforward export in common formats (PNG, JPEG, WebP) for immediate use in design pipelines or asset delivery.
Who benefits: graphic designers, UI/UX teams, photographers, and content creators needing artistic warps or lens-like effects quickly. Unique value comes from an accessible, file-based approach with well-defined inputs, sensible defaults, and a focus on export-ready outputs without requiring a desktop raster editor. Core features include preset distortion types, tunable intensity, optional center/radius controls, and a simple upload-to-export flow. Use cases include experimental thumbnails, concept visuals, digital art studies, and rapid prototyping of distorted imagery for social campaigns.
