a boutique studio

madpixel

tools at the intersection of software, product, and visual craft.
for designers, illustrators, vjs, indie devs, and image-obsessives.

currently shipping: madphase — image manipulation software.

what we make

compositional creative tooling.

we build software for people who treat images like material — not subjects. composers, not photographers. our tools are procedural, opinionated, and yours to keep.

flagship

madphase

image manipulation software for designers, illustrators, and image-obsessives. node-based compositor with a procedural backbone and optional ai assist.

legacy

madpixelsort

the pixel-sorting tool that put us on the map. now drm-free for everyone who bought it. madphase is its successor.

soon

more in the lab

sonification, generative video, plugin sdk. we ship slowly because we use everything we make.

how we work

own what you buy.

  • one-time licenses are real. buy madphase once and it's yours — forever, offline, on the machines you authorize.
  • subscriptions are optional. active unlocks ai features and ongoing updates, but the perpetual app keeps working without it.
  • no telemetry that we wouldn't paste in a tweet. license checks ping us. that's it.
  • made for makers, not enterprise. we care more about a vj's friday set than a procurement department's quarterly review.
