Modulation Effect
Apply Modulation to images and videos online
Apply analog-style modulation waves to images and videos. Create rhythmic distortions, oscillating motion, and abstract textures by controlling frequency, amplitude, and phase.
Before
After
Ideas for using the effect
Analog signal distortion
Simulate unstable analog signals with smooth or aggressive wave modulation.
Abstract motion graphics
Turn static images into living, breathing visuals with oscillating patterns.
Glitch and experimental looks
Push modulation into extreme values to create broken, chaotic, or glitchy effects.
Texture animation
Use subtle modulation to add organic movement to backgrounds and surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the modulation effect?
Modulation distorts an image or video using oscillating wave patterns, similar to analog signal modulation.
What do frequency, amplitude, and phase control?
Frequency controls how often the wave repeats, amplitude controls distortion strength, and phase shifts the wave over time or space.
Can modulation be subtle?
Yes. Low values create gentle motion and texture, while high values produce extreme distortion.
Is modulation useful for video?
Absolutely. Modulation works in real time on videos and is ideal for motion graphics and experimental edits.
Can I combine modulation with other effects?
Yes. Modulation pairs well with color effects, glitch, noise, and blend modes for complex visuals.
