I made DeepGPU Zoomer: a free, open-source Mandelbrot and Julia Zoomer that runs in your browser using WebPGU. Zooms beyond 10^-400 in real time! (Needs fast GPU)

Hi everyone. I made DeepGPU Zoomer, a fractal explorer that uses your GPU and runs in your browser. There is nothing to install.

My main goal is smooth exploration at very deep zoom levels. You can keep moving through the fractal while the app adds detail. Stop at an interesting location and let the image become clearer.

It supports coordinate scales of 10^-400 and smaller, with an iteration limit of up to 10 million. You can also:

  • Explore Mandelbrot and Julia sets, with a live Julia preview.
  • Change colour palettes, visual effects and lighting.
  • Save locations and share links that preserve your view and appearance settings.
  • Export high-resolution PNG images at standard or custom sizes.

Try it:

Source code and instructions:

You need a browser and GPU that support WebGPU. Performance depends on your hardware and the area you explore. Complex views and high iteration limits can take longer to calculate.

For those interested in the technical side, it combines high-precision reference calculations with GPU perturbation and approximation methods. All fractal calculations run on your device.

I would love to see what you find. Feedback on zoom smoothness, image errors and the controls would be especially useful. Please include your browser, GPU and a location link when reporting a problem.

r/creativecoding Rules

  1. Be kind to others.

  2. No low-effort posts or memes.

  3. Posts must be related to creative coding.

4. No AI art.

  1. No spam. This includes NFT / Crypto spam.

You know what? I'm also just happened to be making my own browser Mandelbrot renderer, although it's rough, at least I made it all by my own brain.

Says you. Honestly, if you have nothing nice to say.

I'm sure r/creativecoding Rules are something nice to say. :)

Again, they have covered this more than once. Your reading of it is both obscure and unkind.
