14 sort modes. Sort by brightness, hue, saturation, individual RGB channels, warmth, and more — every creative option in one plugin.
Three interval engines. Threshold, Edge Detection, and Wave modes give you complete control over where sorting happens in your footage.
Sort Source drop zone. Feed in a second image or video to art-direct exactly where and how the sort happens — total creative control.
Sort at any angle. Not just horizontal or vertical — dial in custom angles for diagonal streaks and unique compositions.
GPU accelerated. Metal compute shaders deliver real-time playback at 1080p and 4K on Apple Silicon — instant parameter feedback.
Color channel separation. Sort only the Red, Green, or Blue channel for chromatic aberration and RGB split effects without stacking instances.
Sort pixels within a brightness window, creating organic streaks that follow the image content. The threshold engine analyzes every pixel and only sorts those within your defined range — dark areas stay grounded while highlights melt into beautiful glitch art.

Brightness sort. The classic pixel sort look — luminance-based sorting creates dramatic vertical or horizontal streaks.
Hue sort. Color-based sorting arranges pixels by hue angle for rainbow chromatic effects and surreal color gradients.
RGB channel sort. Sort individual Red, Green, or Blue channels independently for split-color glitch aesthetics.
Saturation sort. Desaturated areas anchor the image while vivid colors streak and flow into each other.
Random sort. Pure glitch chaos — unpredictable pixel rearrangement for aggressive, noisy, corrupted looks.
Sobel edge detection creates sort barriers at object boundaries. Recognizable shapes stay intact while smooth areas melt into sorted streaks. The result is a controlled glitch that preserves structure — not random noise.

Pixelsort runs entirely on a Metal compute shader pipeline — never touching the CPU. On M1, M2, M3, and M4 chips, the GPU's massive parallel compute cores sort millions of pixels per frame simultaneously. The result: true real-time playback at 4K with zero proxy workflow required.
