This is the dazzling Real-Time Zoomer featured in our presentations. Explore the Mandelbrot set and 23 other fractals. Open-source, free, fast, amazing. Used by children everywhere, it’s even simple enough for adults. Free!

Fractal Explorer is a project which guides you through the world of fractals. Not only can you use the software to plot fractals but there is also mathematical background information about fractals on the website. To install Ultra Fractal, simply drag it from the downloaded disk image to the Applications folder on your Mac. To start it, click the Spotlight search icon at the top-right end of the menu bar, type 'Ultra Fractal' and click the application icon that appears. Alternatively, you can locate it in the Applications folder, use the Launcher, or pin.

FRAX (99 cents)
This is an app for iPhones and iPads, and it is the best touch screen fractal explorer EVER made. It’s simply wonderful! You can pinch to zoom or spin and steer by tilting. Incredible fun, and so beautiful.

Fractal to Desktop
Live-render fractals to your desktop! Windows machines only at this time.

JWildfire
Wildfire is a free and user-friendly image-processing software, mostly known for its sophisticated flame fractal generator. It is Java-based, open-source and runs on any major computer platform. There is also a special Android-version for mobile devices. Go to the downloads page to get this free program for Windows, Linux or Mac machines.

Fractal Simulations
Create different versions of the Koch Curve and play with the Mandelbrot set and the Sierpinski Gasket.

Fractal Landscapes
Make your own fractal landscapes

Fractal Map
If you have Windows 10 or Windows 10 mobile, download this free program to create your own fractals!

MandelbulberMandelbulb3D
If you’re ready to explore 3D fractals like the Mandelbulb and Mandelbox, here are two great free programs that will open up infinite worlds. The first one may be a little more powerful and possibly a bit faster, but the second one is a little easier to use. I love them both! And they’re both Free!

Apophysis
Freeware fractal flame editor for Windows – creates super cool fractal images!

MyNameIsLawrence
Multibrot fractal explorer

Fractal Fr0st
Lots of ways to play with fractals

Ultra Fractal
When you are ready for more power, Ultra Fractal is an awesome, professional package that supports animation, arbitrarily deep fractals, and extremely high resolution.

XenoDream
This is a complex and powerful 3D modeling program that makes fractals really well. A professional program, it supports animation as well as high resolution rendering.

Electric Sheep
This is an incredible evolving collaborative fractal screen saver project. Download the screensaver (for Mac, PC or linux) and let your computer help create some of the most beautiful fractal animations anywhere. Interact with it by voting on your favorite sheep, and help contribute to the fractal evolution! Free!

Fractal Art Software Free

Videator
This incredible realtime video manipulation software allows the user to do all sorts of fun and beautiful live video effects, and best of all it is integrated with XaoS, the fractal zoomer, so you can blend yourself and your friends into the infinite fractal landscapes…

Fractivities are hands-on projects that teach fractal concepts in a fun, artistic way. Students utilize their math skills in real-world applications and also work together as a team to create large fractal designs.

With support from the Albert I. Pierce Foundation, our fractivities are aligned with common core standards in mathematics and English language arts so you can more easily incorporate teaching fractals in your classroom, combining science, math and art!

You can use our curriculum for free or can hire us to come to your school to lead fun, hands-on activities. Check out our education and outreach page!

This summary page shows what grades each activity is appropriate for and what common core math standards they meet.

This page includes the associated English language arts standards met by the activities.
