About this app

MandelBrowser is a simple, intuitive, and powerful fractal image generator. The app allows you to easily navigate fractals with gestures (pinch-to-zoom, pan, rotate) and offers many ways to customize images: from changing color schemes to defining custom fractal formulas. That gives you almost limitless possibilities to create amazing pictures.

* 82 fractal types including the most famous Mandelbrot Set,
* 72 paint modes (patterns),
* 128 color palettes,
* 29 image filters, including a kaleidoscope effect,
* 3D light effects using the Blinn-Phong reflection model,
* creating fractal images from photos,
* high resolution rendering up to 8k UHD (6k on Android lower than 10),
* optional supersampling,
* real-time zoom video,
* video creator (requires Android 6+),
* image randomizer,
* user-defined content (fractal types, paint modes, and color palettes),
* saving and sharing images, your favorite spots, and custom content,
* built-in gallery with 900 examples.

EPILEPSY WARNING: this app may produce flashing images.

The app starts in the simple mode with some features hidden. You may switch to the advanced mode in the Settings.

Ratings and reviews

Hi there! So, I love this app. I decided to buy the app very quickly, and have been impressed. The pallets and skins available are stunning. The customisation available beyond that are even more brilliant. There's one thing I dislike, though: The app times out too quickly when you leave it alone. Sometimes I want to save a high res image, and the app may take a long time to load it. In those cases, if I leave the app, it times out and all the loading progress is lost. This app rocks.

I've tried a wide variety of fractal generation programs on both my PC and phone over the past 10 years, and this one is easily among the very best. Every feature I wanted is provided and it's quite fast. The randomize button is EPIC!!! One request: though the deep zoom capability is excellent, it'd be nice if the stretch feature weren't capped at 100.

This app is phenomenal. It's everything I could have hoped to find in a fractal generator, and the performance is quite impressive considering that it runs on a mobile device. I would appreciate support for logical loops in the advanced fractal generation, though. As it is, I had to resort to repeating the same sequence of lines 200 times in order to approximate an infinite series.
