Open the Broken Screen effect
The base image already contains the crack pattern, so only add the LCD effect when it improves the scene.
Preview the glass
Check that the crack scale and center work with the target display.
Choose LCD damage
Turn on the colored bleed layer for a damaged panel look, or leave it off for cracked glass alone.
Enter fullscreen
Click the preview, press F or press Space. The website controls disappear from the effect.
Reveal the prank
Press Escape, click the fullscreen image or switch tabs to return to the normal page.
Why the crack pattern stays fixed
The page uses one carefully composed shattered glass image so the fractures retain natural branching, impact lines and small fragments. The earlier extra crack control was removed because layered procedural lines looked less convincing than the base image.
LCD damage is separate from the glass. It adds colored panel bleed behind the fractures and can be turned on or off without changing the original pattern.
Keep the prank harmless
Nothing is downloaded or changed on the device. The screen is only displaying an image in the browser, and closing the tab removes it.
Avoid using the prank on damaged property, in repair situations or where someone may panic. For a neutral reset after the reveal, open a plain black screen or leave fullscreen.
Broken screen options
The limited controls protect the realism of the main image.
LCD damage
Adds or removes colored panel bleed while leaving the cracked glass visible.
Fullscreen click
Selecting the preview expands the damage image over the screen.
Keyboard shortcuts
F and Space enter the effect when another control is not focused. Escape leaves it.
Reset
Returns the preview to cracked glass without the LCD bleed layer.
Important: Use the prank only where it cannot cause panic, conflict or unnecessary repair costs. Tell the other person the truth promptly.
Broken Screen questions
Does this crack the display?
No. It shows a visual image and optional color effect inside the browser.
Can I add more cracks?
No. The extra crack feature was removed because the added lines looked less realistic than the base glass image.
What does LCD damage do?
It overlays colored bleed that resembles a damaged liquid crystal panel behind cracked glass.
