Create your own effects
from words or a picture

Write a sentence or drop in a reference. Nexus plans the algorithm, writes the code, checks it, and hands you a new effect with its own controls. Not quite right? Reprompt until it is.

Create is part of Creator and Pro. Most new effects take 300 to 600 credits.

How it works

Each effect it makes is real code with its own controls, and it runs live like every other effect.

  1. Describe the lookA sentence, a reference picture, or both.
  2. Watch it buildNexus plans it, writes the code and checks it.
  3. Tune itIt lands on your picture with its own controls.
  4. Refine itAsk for a change in plain words.

Two kinds of effects

Pick one before you write. A raster effect paints pixels, a vector effect draws real paths.

Raster effect

Pixel effects and color grading, from glitch and CRT to duotone and pixel sort.

About raster effects
Vector effect

Lines, dots and shapes with a crisp SVG export, from stipple and contour lines to flow fields and mazes.

Questions, answered

No. Describe the look or drop a reference; Nexus writes, validates and compiles the effect. You just adjust the settings.

A few minutes for most effects, and you can watch it build the whole time.

Create is part of Creator and Pro. Most new effects take 300 to 600 credits. Creator comes with 5,000 credits a month and Pro with 12,500.

Yes. Drop in a reference, with or without words, and Create builds an effect that matches its look.

Raster effects paint pixels and suit photos and footage. Vector effects draw real paths that Illustrator and Figma take back as shapes you can edit, and the web editor exports as SVG.

In the web editor and in every plugin: Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, Affinity and Figma, with the same settings.
