Same seed bursts the same way for matching sets.
How it works
Add images to blast
Drop in punchy shots with strong subjects that survive shattering.
Pick a burst seed
Each seed fires tiles differently; keep favourites for series work.

Detonation aesthetics, art-directed
Where shuffling rearranges large readable chunks, exploding atomises the frame into tiny eight-pixel shards and flings them across the canvas for genuine blast-wave drama. Faces fracture into confetti storms, cars dissolve into speed debris and sneakers burst like dropped crates, delivering the high-voltage impact that product drops, esports announcements and festival line-ups crave. The fixed micro-tile grid guarantees fine grain on every run, so compositions feel shattered rather than merely mixed, with colour clouds hinting at the original while refusing easy reassembly.
Seeds conduct the explosion: low numbers cluster bursts near the core for contained pops, higher numbers scatter shards to the far corners for full obliteration, yet each seed replays identically for coherent campaigns. Because tiles are tiny, subjects remain ghost-readable through colour memory even when no edge survives intact, which is ideal for teasers that intrigue without revealing. Pair blasts with bold condensed type over the calmer quadrants, letting typography anchor the chaos for legible hero graphics.
Burst control for bold campaigns
Source choice makes or breaks shatter art, since high-contrast subjects with saturated brand hues explode into recognisable colour weather while pale minimal shots turn to grey static. Crop tightly to heroes before detonating, avoid critical text inside the blast radius, and test three seeds minimum because one may centre a lucky intact eye amid debris while another buries it. For motion posters, export sequential seeds as frames and cycle them for flickering disintegration that loops seamlessly in stories and venue screens.
PNG preserves every shard edge in bit-exact glory, whereas JPG would melt the confetti into compression soup and dull the impact. Archive masters untouched, publish bursts as disposable derivatives, and proof at final size because phone previews compress apparent scatter. Never use explosion for redaction — colour distribution still leaks identity — but for celebration, disruption and launch theatre, micro-tile blasts out-punch every generic particle brush with photographic authenticity.
Pyrotechnics lit in your own workshop
Launch assets carry secrecy until reveal day, therefore detonation math ignites exclusively within your browser memory. Effect clouds commonly queue uploads for GPU farms and retain thumbnails for showcase feeds, risking premature leaks of line-ups and pricing, while this page slices, permutes and encodes locally with zero egress, so embargoed sneakers, rosters and headliners stay sealed inside hardware you control until the scheduled Coordinated blast across channels.
There is no booking, no render farm and no watermark: open Explode image when hype must detonate, burst up to ten heroes, download the scattered PNGs and close the tab. Only the tool shell caches for offline use, never your key art. Re-blast preserved originals with fresh seeds for tour legs and regional variants, since sources endure whole and each explosion is a repeatable, discardable charge.
Questions
Are exploded images uploaded to a server?
No. The burst is computed locally in your browser. Files never leave your device.
Is it free?
Yes. Free to use with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limits.
How is this different from Mix image pixels?
Mix shuffles large readable tiles for puzzles. Explode uses tiny fixed 8 px tiles for a scattered, shattered-burst look that cannot be reassembled.
Can I reuse the same burst layout?
Yes. The burst seed fixes the scatter, so the same photo plus seed always explodes identically for matching series.
