So what’s going on here? For the curious, a cursory comparison of the before and after files seems to confirm my suspicion that the transformation, at least in some part, has to do with WordPad converting line breaks when it loads in the image. The splash image for this post was simply opened and then saved, the WordPad Effect did the rest. You can also try deleting some random text from the file before saving, but it’s not required to glitch the image. The process of opening and saving the image using WordPad invokes what has been dubbed the WordPad Effect. Wait for WordPad to load the image as a document and then press Ctrl+S on your keyboard to Save or use the menu to Save the file. Open your BMP image in WordPad by selecting All Documents(*.*) in the dropdown beside the File name field. If you can’t find WordPad, press the Win + R keys, type in “write” and press Enter, WordPad should open. Then select 24-bit Bitmap (*.bmp *.dib) from the Save as type dropdown, other types of BMP will work as well to varying degrees. Open your file and then choose Save as and BMP picture. If you can’t find Paint, press the Win + R keys, type in “pbrush” and press Enter, Paint should open. This can be done with any image editing software, but since this tutorial is about WordPad we’re going to use one of its fellow Microsoft applications, Microsoft Paint, which is also included with most versions of Microsoft Windows. To start glitching with WordPad we need to convert our source image to a BMP (Bitmap) file.
