About.

The Fractal Explorer is a web application created by James Wilson. Visit my homepage for more.

Quick Tips.

1. Hover over an option to see more information about it.
2. Insert colours by clicking on the gradient strip. Click on a stop to change it. Drag a stop by its top handle.
3. As well as dragging a box to zoom in on a region, you can use the mouse wheel and arrow keys to navigate the fractal.
4. Show others your fractals by using the link on the save tab — share the goodness.
5. Not sure what something does? Experiment. You can't go wrong, and you can always start over.

Restored 2026 from the original 2015 archive. UI structure is one-to-one with the original; the rendering engine, palette mapping and gradient editor are clean modern TypeScript rewrites.
