What you can make

Glitch Art & Experimental Painting Tool

Make layered digital glitch art, still image treatments and animated video-painting performances using imported media as pigment.

How the process works

Image and video sources become brush material. Painting, mosh, damage, wet-canvas and transformation tools reshape that material while living video regions can remain in motion.

Inputs and source material

Import images or video into pigment wells, or begin with generated source material inside the Windows application.

Save and export

Save editable projects; export PNG, JPG or WebP stills and GIF, WebM or MP4 motion from the current MoshPaint alpha.

Getting started

How to use MoshPaint

  2. 02Paint with image brushes, create living video regions and use mosh or damage tools to reshape the artwork.
  3. 03Save the project or export a still or motion file. A browser edition is not yet available.
