With this online tool, you can make ordinary text look like it passed through a noisy display, damaged terminal, or unstable video feed. The program keeps the original letters in place but surrounds them with small Unicode distortion symbols (such as ◌͂, ◌̸, ◌̬), so the message still contains the same words while its visual shape becomes jittery and corrupted. For example, the word "error" can turn into something like "ḛr͒r̴o͔r̅" or even "e̷̩ͨr̸̪͆᷾̾ṙ̴̛̭͔̲̃ǒ̵͚̜̱︣ͪŕ̸͔" depending on the intensity. The "Glitch Intensity" options define how many distortion symbols are applied to each character. You can specify a lower and upper limit, and the exact number is randomly generated within this range. For example, a range of 1-2 creates a light glitch effect, while a range of 5-10 produces a heavily corrupted and irregular result with strong randomness. The "Glitch Zones" options control where the distortion appears: the top zone corrupts the space above characters (for example g᷉ĺi͗t́c̑h᷃), the core zone strikes through the character center line (g̶l̶i̴t̴c̷h̷), and the bottom zone corrupts the space below characters (g͇l̮įt̘c̨h̟). You can enable a single zone for a clean, stylistic effect, or combine several zones to make the text look heavily damaged. The "Chaos Mode" options control the visual variety of the glitch. "Max Variety" mixes many different glyphs for each character, while "Single Style" sticks to one glyph style per character and creates a more consistent pattern. If you want to keep word spacing, indentation, and line breaks readable, enable "Ignore Spaces" and blank spaces will stay clean. Textabulous!

In this example, we turn a clean system status screen into a broken transmission. We add glitch marks above and below the letters, use a random range from one to two marks per character, and leave spaces and newlines untouched, so the report structure remains visible.
In this example, we create a stylized glitch effect for a music event poster. We use a fixed intensity value (3) so each character gets the same amount of distortion marks. We enable only the top zone to add a subtle glowing noise above the letters, and use "Single Style" to keep the pattern consistent across the entire text.
In this example, we recreate a hidden warning message inspired by the game Portal. In the game, the phrase "The cake is a lie" appears as a secret message that warns the player about a fake promised reward. We use a medium-intensity range of 2 to 4 distortion symbols, enable all three glitch zones, and set max variety so each character gets a different mix of top, core, and bottom noise. We also glitch the spaces, which makes the entire sentence look like it is breaking through a corrupted interface.
