FEATURES!

• Choose from 10 gradually different levels of glitching intensity ! Want just a tiny bit of glitching, enough to make your image look cool? - use level 2 (my favorite)!
• Create Glitched GIFs from a normal image! That's right, before this tool, I had to manually download each image from ImageGlitcher , save them, and then head to a GIF creation website. Now you can do it all at once!
• Customize the number of frames in a GIF as well as their duration - all from the comfort of your terminal!
• Add scan lines for a retro CRT effect!
• Oh and did I mention, color offset ? Just like ImageGlitcher , this tool glitches the color channels as well as the pixels - for very convincing looking glitched images!

Glitched version (scan_lines) - Level 8:-

That's neat, but how about some GIFs? Here's some GIFs from the same image:-

Note: All the GIFs use default values from FRAMES and DURATION , i.e 23 and 200 respectively
