Glitch text generator

Pile combining marks onto your letters until they look corrupted. Pick a strength and a direction, then copy the result — it pastes as plain text.

Your bio is half of your profile. The other half is the page your link opens — make yours with Stick, free.

How to use it

1. Type your text in the box.
2. Choose a style — light, medium, heavy, rising, dripping or scratched — and tap Copy.
3. Paste it into your bio, name or message.

How glitch text works

Unicode has combining marks — accents meant to sit on a letter. Stacking many of them above, below and through each letter makes the text spill out of its line, which is the glitch. The letters underneath are unchanged, so it can still be read.

Pick the strength by where it goes

Light glitch stays legible in a bio or a display name. Heavy glitch runs into the lines around it, which is fun in a single message and a mess in a profile. Some apps cut or remove stacked marks, so check the result after you paste.

Rising, dripping and scratched

Rising stacks every mark above the letters, so the text seems to smoke; dripping hangs them below; scratched puts a single stroke through each letter for a damaged look that keeps to its line. The lines and marks further down are the tidy version: one clean line or mark on every letter.

Where glitch text works

Discord messages and nicknames, TikTok and Instagram bios, YouTube comments and gaming profiles all take it. Fields with a length limit usually count every mark as a character, so a heavy glitch fills a name fast — use light for names.

The same words, the same glitch

The marks are chosen by a fixed pattern based on your text, so the same words always come out the same way — what you copy is exactly what you saw. Change one letter and the whole pattern changes.

It fills a character limit fast

Every mark is a character of its own. The light style adds up to two per letter, medium up to seven and heavy up to seventeen, so a ten-letter word in the heavy style runs to somewhere between 90 and 180 characters. An Instagram bio stops at 150, so glitch a single word there rather than the whole line.

Glitch any font

The marks go on top of whatever you type, so a line from another generator — bold, script, gothic — comes back glitched in that style. Paste it into the box and copy the strength you want. Text that is already glitched only gets a taller stack, so start from the clean version.
