A standalone program and a plugin for Adobe Photoshop that allows you to build your own filters.


Filter Forge gives you unlimited access to a huge library of filters: seamless textures, visual effects, distortions, patterns, backgrounds, frames, and much more. They can be used for any commercial and non-commercial purposes without limitations. Download the fully-functional trial version to check them over yourself!
A visual node-based editor lets you create visual effects and procedural textures.
A free online repository of filters submitted by Filter Forge users. Contributors can earn a free copy of Filter Forge.
Most filters in Filter Forge support seamless tiling, even for non-square textures.
Filter Forge can generate diffuse, bump, specular and normal maps – all are anti-aliased and most are seamlessly tiled.
As all filters are generated procedurally, any filter can be rendered in any resolution without losing a detail.
We are excited to offer cooperation to computer artists, graphic software authors, bloggers, online store owners and all Filter Forge lovers. We are open to all forms of partnership.
