If you are interested in making fractals, I have compiled a list with links to fractal software that you can download. Some are free while others cost money. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask me. This is not a comprehensive list of all the fractal software that's ever been made. I have left some out unintentionally. If you can think of one or some I may have missed, please let me know and I will add them to this list.
