Text Glitch Effect Generator

Scan to open this page

Free CSS glitch text generator with three effect types (RGB-split color, noise, transform), adjustable intensity and speed, and one-click code copy — a popular competitor (CSS Portal) has no copy button and no speed/intensity control at all. It also respects accessibility: toggle 'Reduce motion' to preview the static look, and every copied snippet includes its own prefers-reduced-motion media query, which we checked and found missing from every competitor we reviewed.

How it works

  1. Type your text, pick colors, and choose an effect type (Color, Noise, or Transform)
  2. Adjust intensity and speed sliders — the live preview updates instantly
  3. Copy the generated HTML + CSS with one click; it already includes a prefers-reduced-motion media query

Frequently asked questions

Does this respect accessibility settings like reduced motion?

Yes — toggle "Reduce motion" to switch to a static (non-animated) look in the preview, and the copied CSS itself includes a prefers-reduced-motion media query that automatically disables the animation for anyone with that OS setting on. We checked several competing generators directly and found none that handle this.

Why doesn't the glitch effect look right on my text?

The effect relies on visible pixel offsets, so very small font sizes make it hard to see. We show a warning below 40px font size instead of silently rendering a flat, ineffective result.

Do I need to log in or does this cost anything?

No — everything runs in your browser, free, no account.

Can I control how fast or intense the glitch is?

Yes — separate intensity and speed sliders. A competitor we checked (CSS Portal) has neither, and its code block has no copy button either.

A widely-linked CSS glitch text effect generator makes you manually select and copy its output — and like every other one we checked, its animation never stops for users with motion sensitivity turned on.
