Easily give your photos a grunge feel by using the image editing application Grungetastic. It’s all a very simple process: load any image you want, browse through and apply the grunge style you want, and then save your rocking new image.

Grungetastic is available for multiple platforms: Windows, Mac OS X, iPad, and iPhone. A standard setup procedure must be completed in order to install Grungetastic on a Windows PC. This means you will have to download an installer (a 128Mb executable), run it, and then go through the instructions presented by a setup wizard.

Grungetastic has a dark-themed interface that I found to be quite easy to navigate. The main part of the interface is taken up by whatever image you loaded into the application. Down at the bottom there’s a panel that presents all the grunge styles you can apply to the loaded image. To the right there’s a panel that allows you to customize the grunge style. And at the top there’s a toolbar that you can use to zoom in, undo the last edit, crop the image, and more.

Using Grungetastic is a very simple 3-step process.

Step 1 – load an image into the application. You can simply drag and drop an image onto the application’s interface or you can use the Load Photo button from the upper left hand corner.

Step 2 – apply a style. All the styles are nicely displayed at the bottom, grouped into several categories: Pop Grunge, Bleached, Grunge, Distressed, Gritty, Worn, Worn Pop. If you want to, you can customize a style after you select it; you can adjust the tone, the edge strength, the color detail, and more. If you can’t be bothered to pick a style, you can click the dice icon located in the upper right hand corner and get a random style.

Step 3 – save the new image. Please note that the save option is disabled in the trial version. To be able to save your new rocking image you must get a Grungetastic license.

The ease of use is great. With Grungetastic, in just a few steps, you can take a boring image and turn it into something sick.

Pros

Grungetastic is available for multiple platforms: Windows, Mac, iOS. Installing it on a Windows PC is an effortless task. Grungetastic has a dark-themed interface that is quite easy to use. All the grunge styles you can use are nicely grouped into categories; the categories are displayed at the bottom of the interface. There’s a random feature. Images can be cropped. Undo and redo are supported.

Cons

The save function is disabled in the trial version.
