How is this different from pixel sorting?

Gravity slice moves whole horizontal bands as intact blocks, so the content stays recognisable but displaced. Pixel sorting reorders individual pixels within a run, which smears color rather than shifting structure.

What subject shows the slip best?

One with strong vertical elements — architecture, a standing figure, columns of text. The displacement is most legible where it breaks a line that should be continuous.

How it works

The image is cut into horizontal bands that slide downward by varying amounts, as if the picture were losing structural integrity and collapsing under its own weight.

Processing

Gravity Slice runs as a classic image effect and does not use an AI action.

Best for

glitch-styled graphics, music artwork, title cards, and experimental editorial design.

Less suited to: photographs where continuity matters, since the offset bands break every vertical line.
