Glitch Text Generator
RGB-split, slice-shifted glitch lettering — transparent PNG, no signup.
About the Glitch Text Generator
The glitch effect separates the red and cyan channels, shifts horizontal slices and adds scan-line noise, so the text looks like a corrupted video frame. It is a staple for gaming channels, cyberpunk posters, tech thumbnails and "error" themed graphics.
Type the text, choose a monospaced, techno or heavy font, select Glitch and download. Each render randomises the slices slightly, so re-render until you get the distortion you like, then export at 4K for a crisp result.
Tips
- Monospace and futuristic fonts read as "digital"; script fonts break the illusion.
- Black or very dark backgrounds make the RGB split visible; on white it looks faint.
- Combine with the Neon Cyan effect page for a full cyberpunk kit.
FAQ
Can I control the amount of glitch?
The distortion is randomised on each render; render again for a different pattern, and use a larger size for wider RGB offsets.
Is the text still readable?
Yes at normal sizes: the slices are small and the base letter stays in place. Very long text becomes harder to read, keep it short.
Can I export a transparent glitch PNG?
Yes, transparent is the default background.
Does it work with any font?

Why is the canvas transparent by default?
Transparent backgrounds let you place the effect over any image or design later in Photoshop, Canva, or on your website.
