Glitch Text Generator

The glitch text generator adds digital-noise marks through your letters, with an intensity slider from a subtle flicker to a broken signal.

Animated Glitch Preview

Glitch text looks best in motion. This preview re-rolls the noise on a timer over a flickering, colour-split screen, the way a broken signal looks in a video edit. Set the noise level and the frame speed, pause on a frame you like and copy it, or copy one of the last 3 frames.

What Glitch Text Is

Glitch text imitates a corrupted screen. It favours overlay marks that cut through the middle of letters (U+0334–U+0338), with light marks above and below, so the text looks scratched rather than buried. Click a tile to see the marks on each letter.

Type in the generator above and this map rebuilds with your own word.

How to Use the Intensity Slider

The slider scales how many marks each letter gets. Low levels stay readable; high levels look like a dead signal. Watch one phrase climb the scale.

Glitch Text vs. Zalgo Text in Numbers

Both add combining marks, but in different amounts. Here are the extra marks per letter each style adds to the word "glitchtext".

Every mark is a separate character, so glitch text grows 3× or more in length. For full control of all 3 directions, use the Zalgo text generator.

Where Glitch Text Works

Glitch marks are standard Unicode, but some apps trim them. Pick an app.

Glitch Text FAQs

Why does glitch text change each time I press Re-roll?

Re-roll picks a new set of marks for the same letters, so you can choose the look you like. The text underneath stays the same.

Will glitch text fit in my username?

Each glitched letter adds 1 to 5 extra characters, so keep the intensity low for short fields. The counter shows the final length.

How do I make animated glitch text?

Copy several frames from the animated preview and use them in a video editor, one frame per cut. Text fields themselves cannot animate.

What is the difference between glitch and Zalgo text?

Glitch text favours marks through the middle for a scratched-screen look, while Zalgo stacks marks high above and below. See the [Zalgo text generator](/zalgo-text/).

Can I glitch bold or monospace text?

Yes, the Glitch bold and Glitch terminal variants apply marks on top of bold and monospace letters.

Is glitch text readable by screen readers?

Screen readers usually read the base letters and skip or list the marks, so light glitch stays understandable. Avoid heavy glitch for important text.
