This lighthearted project aims to create a modernised version of the retro glitter graphic GIFs that were popular in the 2000s. While the original glitter graphics were made by tiling pre-existing animated gifs, my Glitter Studio generates the backgrounds and glitter animations at runtime - meaning that you can achieve a much more customised result with the exact colours, patterns, and sparkle types that you prefer. It has a “Random” feature for generating a random configuration, and you can even upload custom sparkle images. Sparkle type: banana, anyone?
