A retro Jpeg compression aesthetic with runtime glitch generation


A stylized image effect for Unity URP based on real-time YCbCr color compression,

chroma shift, and scanline distortion. Designed for post-internet aesthetics like

Dreamcore, Weirdcore, PS1 era, or Retro Web nostalgia.


YCbCr Conversion Glitcher— Core of the effect is built on RGB → YCbCr conversion,

mimicking how real JPEG compression treats luminance and chrominance channels.


• Chroma Color Distortions — The chroma channels (Cb, Cr) are downsampled and

quantized, creating soft bleeding, color shift, and compression artifacts in motion.


Scanline Drift — Optional interlaced-style camera memory effect that introduces

ghosting, delayed readout, and analog vibes.
