CUT it up
Slice any image, text, or screenshot into fragments. Every offcut is kept — accidents are inventory, not waste.

ART IS DEAD.
MAKE ANYWAY.
Nimbus is the anti-design toolkit for collagists of intent: cut found media, obey the dice, and ship work that argues back.
— three cuts against taste —
TOOLS AGAINST TASTE
OBEY THE DICE
One click scrambles layout, palette, and type by weighted chance. Lock what you love, reroll the rest.
Consult the dicePaste THE WORLD
Drop in found media — scans, stamps, screenshots. Nimbus tracks provenance so every collage cites its sources.
Open the archive— chance, rigged in your favor —
THE METHOD IS NO METHOD
- 01
GATHER
Drag in feeds, fragments, receipts, ransom notes. The inbox accepts anything with edges.
- 02
Cut DEEPER
Slice along chance lines. The editor politely refuses to snap anything to any grid.
- 03
PUBLISH LOUDLY
Ship a poster, a site, or a scandal in one click. Ink, export, and provocation included.
— sworn statements, cut from the press —
THE WITNESSES
I fed Nimbus a grocery receipt and it became the centerpiece of my portfolio. I am furious and, finally, employed.
The dice ordered me to rotate my landing page three degrees. Conversions rose 212 percent. I trust nothing now, least of all taste.
Nimbus called my gradient “a lie.” It was right. I cut the lie into strips and felt the truth.

FREQUENT ACCUSATIONS
Yes, in the friendliest way. Nimbus is a real production toolkit — versioning, exports, provenance — that simply refuses to fix your grid. The anti part is the posture; the shipped poster is real.
No. Training is optional and occasionally a handicap. Start from a template or a coin flip; every tool has one-click undo for when chance goes too far.
Lock any fragment you love and reroll the rest. Chance is a collaborator, not a tyrant — every random result stays editable, and history keeps all 42 previous universes.
Yes — two clicks, and you keep every export forever. No ransom, note or otherwise. We would rather be abandoned than obeyed.
You do — every pixel, offcut, and scandal. Nimbus keeps only the provenance ledger you explicitly ask us to keep, and deletes it on request.
