Grainrad is a WebGPU-powered visual engine that turns webpages into real-time ASCII, dithering, and retro-style experiences at 60fps. It lets creatives and developers explore nostalgic rendering effects directly in the browser with smooth, GPU-accelerated performance.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Uses WebGPU acceleration to handle complex visual processing on the graphics card instead of the CPU, preventing frame drops and browser freezing
- Renders ASCII and dithering effects in real-time without pre-processing, so you get instant nostalgic visuals that respond to live content changes
- Optimized rendering pipeline keeps consistent 60fps by efficiently managing memory and reducing computational overhead during effect application
- Built-in performance monitoring automatically adjusts effect intensity based on device capabilities to maintain smooth playback across different hardware
- Lightweight engine design minimizes resource usage while running retro effects, allowing other web application features to work normally without slowdown
