# glitch.py
Randomly changes binary file data in order to create glitch art.
## Usage
```
python glitch.py [percent] [outfile]
infile: the file to take as input
percent: the percentage of the file to corrupt, by default, 0.1%
outfile: the file to output, by default -glitched.
```
Play around with different values for percent, 0.1 seems to work okay for most image formats, 0.01 worked okay for video.
Also, try different filetypes and share your results!
I noticed different image viewers sometimes perform differently with these glitched images. They either display the image differently or not at all.
Windows Photo Viewer worked best for me. As a result, I usually screenshot the glitches from Windows Photo Viewer so they always display "correctly".
