FRAX Frax is an art program that puts the “equations of nature” in the palm of your hand. Frax is powered by fractal geometry, the same principle that creates patterns of self-similarity in our natural world. From spiral galaxies to hurricanes, from tree limbs to branching blood vessels, the universe is filled with endless variation and staggering beauty. Frax visualizes this natural geometric code, so you can explore vast animating digital landscapes and make a masterpiece on your touchscreen.
EXPLORE Zoom deep into your creations. Use multi-touch gestures to fly through and explore intricate shapes and patterns. Tilt-to-steer through animating digital worlds, as you challenge yourself to chart a course for a long and beautiful flight –all at a depth range of a trillion-to-one.
DESIGN Unleash your inner artist with complex color gradients to smoothly tint and shade your fractal shapes, two light sources for glossy reflections, and novel textures. The combinations are endless: supersmooth or wildly chaotic, metallic sheen or pearly white, subtle shades, stark monochrome or screaming supergloss. Or upgrade to Pro to access almost 100 parameters and controls!
SHARE Then share your creations with your friends via Facebook, Twitter and text. Or invite other users to step into your animating world by sharing a live preset link. You can render high-quality images to your photo library or create ultra-high quality 200 Megapixel renders with an IAP. And for the first time, you can now record VIDEO of your Frax animations directly within the app! (Pro IAP required.) Our users have put their designs on canvas, posters, scarves, T-shirts and textiles. The creative possibilities are endless!
What will Frax inspire in you?
We hope you enjoy Frax! Ben Weiss • Kai Krause • Tom Beddard

8 of 25Amazing app! I would spend hours playing around and creating a lot of rad art with Frax! I really like the capability to record videos but the issue I have is that it’s very poor quality when playing the videos back. I hope this gets resolved!
Cool but want reaction to external audio source
the into is so stressful and tedious, i was excited to try the app but had all those unnecessary instructions keep popping up…made me immediately uninterested and i exited the app lmao… good try i guess
The update is more fractals. Add new fractals like the Burning Ship fractal, the Celtic fractal I mean come on! Why only the Mandelbrot and Julius sets! I want more fractals NOW
Every time I press record video the app crashes
I see the developers still haven’t added a GIF option. I emailed them over a year ago about adding a GIF option in the video section, I guess my email fell on deaf ears. What a shame because that would take this app to another level. Dropping my rating down to 3 stars.
Amazing, I have a request though, to add more stuff like burning ship and mandelbar fractals and higher than 3 power
This game is so cool it’s just so fun and just lets my stress and anxiety go down I love it💖
