There are many different kinds of fractal images. They can be subdivided into several groups. 
* Fractals derived from standard geometry by using iterative transformations on an initial common figure like a straight line (the Cantor dust or the [[Koch snowflake|von Koch curve]]), a triangle (the [[Sierpinski triangle]]), or a cube (the [[Menger sponge]]). The first fractal figures invented near the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries belong to this group.
* IFS ([[iterated function systems]])
* [[Strange attractors]]
* [[Flame fractals|Fractal flame]]
* [[L-system]] fractals
* Fractals created by the iteration of complex [[polynomial]]s.
* [[Newton fractal]]s, including [[Nova fractal]]s
* Fractals generated over [[quaternion]]s and other [[Cayley-Dickson algebra]]s<ref>{{cite web| url = http://paulbourke.net/fractals/quatjulia/| title = Quaternion Julia Fractals}}</ref>
* [[Fractal terrain]]s generated by random fractal processes<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.fractalus.com/fractal-art-faq/faq03.html#3a| title = Fractal Art FAQ}}</ref>
* [[Mandelbulb]]s are a form of three dimensional fractal.

[[Fractal Expressionism]] is a term used to differentiate traditional visual art that incorporates fractal elements such as [[self-similarity]] for example.  Perhaps the best example of fractal expressionism is found in [[Jackson Pollock]]'s dripped patterns.  They have been analysed and found to contain a [[fractal dimension]] which has been attributed to his technique.<ref name="coex">{{cite book |title=Complexity explained |last=Érdi |first=Péter |author-link=Péter Érdi|year=2008 |publisher=Springer |isbn=978-3-540-35777-3 |page=214 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JwgpLvknc8wC |access-date=October 29, 2011}}</ref>
