Glitch font generator (PNG export)
For when you need glitch text as an image, not copy-paste text — thumbnails, graphics, anywhere Unicode text isn't accepted.
Controls the density of accent marks stacked above each character.
Controls the density of strikethrough-style marks. These are the marks most likely to render as boxes on old devices — keep this low if you need the text to be widely readable.
Controls the density of marks stacked below each character.
Style mockup, not a live embed — actual rendering can vary by device and app version.

Why download glitch text as a PNG image instead of text
Copy-paste glitch text depends on the receiving app supporting Unicode combining marks — most modern apps do, but some upload forms, older software, and certain graphic-design tools don't. A PNG sidesteps that entirely: it's a picture of the text, so it displays identically everywhere, at the cost of no longer being selectable or editable text.
Type your text, dial in the intensity, then press Download PNG. The image renders directly on your device using the browser's canvas — nothing is uploaded to a server to generate it.
How client-side canvas rendering works
When you click Download PNG, an HTML5 canvas element measures the exact bounding box of your text, including all stacked diacritical marks above and below. It then renders the glyphs using subpixel antialiasing and outputs a lossless PNG data URL.
Because the entire process executes locally in your browser, your text is completely private, the download is instantaneous, and the exported file contains zero watermarks or compression artifacts.
How to use your exported glitch PNG in design projects
• YouTube & Twitch Thumbnails: Import your glitch PNG directly into Photoshop, Canva, or Figma to create dramatic horror, gaming, or tech thumbnails.
• Video Editing: Drop the image directly onto your timeline in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro as a title card or overlay graphic.
• Print & Merchandise: Use the crisp raster output for sticker graphics, zine layouts, or album artwork.
Frequently asked questions
Does the PNG export have a watermark or cost anything?
No. The PNG export is 100% free, has no watermarks, and requires no account registration.
What size and resolution is the exported PNG?
The canvas dynamically calculates its dimensions to fit your text at crisp display resolution, adapting width and height to accommodate all stacked accent marks.
Does the glitch PNG export support transparent backgrounds?
The default export uses a clean solid background matched to your current theme (dark or light) to ensure high contrast for combining marks.
Is my text uploaded to a server when creating the PNG?
No. The image is rendered entirely client-side on your device using your browser's native Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Where can I use the glitch PNG image?
Anywhere images are supported: YouTube thumbnails, video editors, website headers, Discord server banners, and graphic design software.
Can I copy the text version instead of downloading an image?
Yes! The Copy text button is always available alongside the Download PNG button so you can choose whichever format fits your project.
