ContactFrequently Asked Questions
What is glitch text?
Glitch text is regular text transformed using Unicode combining characters and special symbols to look corrupted, distorted, or broken. The effect mimics digital glitches and data corruption, making text appear as if it is malfunctioning. It works on any platform that supports Unicode.
Can I use glitch text on Discord and social media?
Yes! Glitch text works on Discord messages, usernames, and bios. It also works on Twitter/X, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube comments, and most platforms that support Unicode. Simply copy the generated text and paste it wherever you want.
What is the difference between glitch text and Zalgo text?
Zalgo text is one specific type of glitch text that uses stacking combining characters for a corrupted look. Glitch text is a broader category that includes multiple distortion styles. This generator offers five distinct glitch effects including Zalgo, strikethrough corruption, matrix rain, vaporwave distortion, and binary noise.
Why does glitch text look different on some devices?
Glitch text relies on Unicode combining characters that may render differently depending on the device, operating system, browser, and installed fonts. Most modern devices display it correctly. If you see placeholder boxes or missing characters, try a lower intensity or a different style like "Zalgo" which has the widest compatibility.
Is there a character limit for glitch text?
There is no character limit in this tool. However, glitch text (especially at higher intensities) adds many extra Unicode characters per letter. Some platforms like Twitter have character limits that count each combining mark separately, so your glitch text may use up the limit faster than plain text.
