How the Matrix style works

Matrix runs streams of half-width katakana and digits down every column at different speeds, each with a bright head and a fading trail. The image decides how bright the rain is where it falls, so the subject glows out of the code. It animates on its own and exports as GIF or video.

Best for

Animated backgrounds, intros and anything cyberpunk.

Tips

  • Streams only light where the source is bright — raise Brightness for dark photos.
  • Motion → Speed controls how fast the rain falls.
  • Add Bloom for glowing heads.

Export

PNG, JPEG, WebP and SVG, plus plain text you can copy and paste. Animated looks export as GIF, MP4 or WebM.
