When you use Mutapic you combine two pictures to create a set of new images. The two pictures are high quality vector graphics downloaded from the Mutapic server. The new images are generated locally on your computer screen in bitmap format. Mutapic generates an infinite number of original images using randomness, rules, recipes and elements that are graphically appealing and interesting.

Mutapic can also be used for the complete creative process. Propose ideas, make and refine your sketches until you come up with a final artwork. See some screenshots below.
