About Geometrize

Geometrize is a desktop app and open source toolkit that recreates images using geometric primitives such as rectangles, triangles and ellipses. Given a target image, it generates thousands of random shapes, mutates them through hillclimbing optimization, and keeps only the best-fitting ones to form an abstract arrangement. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Key features

  • Recreates target images as abstract arrangements of shapes

  • Provides desktop app for Windows, Mac, and Linux
Best for: Non-programmers and game developers who want abstract shape-based versions of images, including placeholder graphics.
Good for
  • Codebase is described as open source
  • Available for Windows, Mac and Linux
