Resynthesizer is a Gimp plug-in for texture synthesis. Given a sample
of a texture, it can create more of that texture. This has a surprising number
of uses:
- Creating more of a texture
(including creation of tileable textures)
- Removing objects from images
(great for touching up photos)
- Creating themed images
(such as the Resynthesizer logo above)
For details of the algorithm, see my PhD thesis.

bootchk has taken over maintenance of Resynthesizer. The latest version is available from the GIMP registry:
Older version
- Source: resynthesizer-0.16.tar.gz
- Compiled Windows version: resynthesizer-for-Windows-0.13b.zip
- Debian: apt-get install gimp-resynthesizer
Note: A "feature" that has confused some people -- If there is a selection in the input texture image, Resynthesizer will take texture from everywhere but that selection. (This makes sense if your input texture image is the same as your target image, where you usually want to overwrite the selection with something other than the selection.)

This plug-in was developed as part of my PhD with the CEMA group at Monash University.
