What is Glitch Text?
Glitch text (also known as corrupted text, distorted text, or cursed text) uses special Unicode combining characters that stack on top of regular letters. This creates a "glitched" visual effect that appears broken or corrupted.
Unlike regular formatting, glitch text works everywhere — even in places that don't support bold, italic, or other formatting.
Glitch Intensity Levels
| Level | Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Light (1-3) | Subtle distortion | Professional bios, subtle branding |
| Medium (4-6) | Balanced corruption | Social media posts, usernames |
| Heavy (7-10) | Maximum chaos | Gaming tags, horror themes |

FAQs About Glitch Text
Why does my glitch text look different on different devices?
Different fonts and operating systems render Unicode combining characters slightly differently. The effect will vary but the "glitched" appearance remains.
Will glitch text affect my SEO or search visibility?
Glitch text is harder for search engines to parse. Use it for display purposes (bios, usernames) rather than content you want to be searchable.
Can I use glitch text in my username?
Most platforms accept it, but some may filter excessive combining characters. Test with lighter intensity first.
Does it work on all devices?
Yes! Since it uses Unicode, it works on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Is there a character limit?
Some platforms limit total characters including invisible combining marks. Heavier glitch uses more characters.

Technical Details
Our generator uses Unicode combining diacritical marks from the following ranges:
- Combining marks above (U+0300–U+036F)

- Combining marks through (U+0334–U+0338)
These characters are designed to combine with base characters, creating the stacked "glitch" effect.
