No. It uses Unicode characters and marks, so the result is real text with combining signs.
Glitch Text Generator
Create glitch text with combining Unicode marks, intensity control and reproducible seed.
Combining Unicode marks distort text without images
Glitch text uses combining Unicode marks to overlay strokes around letters. The effect is useful for titles, prototypes and experimental aesthetics, but it can hurt search, accessibility, selection and readability. Intensity and seed keep the result predictable instead of completely destroying the text.
Use it as typographic texture, not body copy
- Type a short phrase and keep the original content recognizable.
- Adjust intensity to balance distortion and readability.
- Copy the result and test it where it will be published, because platforms may normalize Unicode.
