TV Static Screensaver_

The TV static screensaver recreates the flickering snow you used to see on an analog television tuned to a dead channel — random black-and-white (or colour) noise, scanlines and a rolling bar. This version is generated live in your browser on HTML5 Canvas and also includes SMPTE colour bars and a blue No Signal screen, so it never loops.

Yes. The visual is often used as an ambient or eerie backdrop for videos, streams, Halloween displays and photo shoots, or simply because some people find moving static relaxing to look at. Note that this page is silent — pair it with your own white-noise audio track if you want sound.

Click the screen or press Enter Fullscreen in the sidebar. The static will fill your entire display. Move your mouse to reveal the exit button, or press Escape to return to normal view. You can also press F to toggle fullscreen at any time.

No. This TV static screensaver runs entirely in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. There is nothing to download or install. It works on any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.

Four modes: TV Snow (classic black-and-white static), Colour Snow (RGB noise), No Signal (a blue screen with a No Signal box over light static) and Colour Bars (the SMPTE test pattern). You can also adjust intensity and grain and toggle scanlines, the rolling bar and flicker.
