Break the signal,
glitch it
Turn your text into an animated glitch GIF with horror and retro-game effects — custom colours, speed and intensity. Made for streamers and Halloween.
Glitch effects are everywhere — from horror intros to retro-game HUDs to cyberpunk titles. This generator animates your text with RGB-split glitch, scan lines and static bursts, then exports it as a GIF you can use in streams, videos, thumbnails and Halloween designs. Fully customisable, fully in your browser.

Tips & recommendations
Pro tips to get the most out of this tool.
Peak season: October
Glitch and horror text peak around Halloween — use them for spooky intros, banners and raid screens.
Streamers love it for intros
A glitch title card is a classic stream intro. Keep it 2–3 seconds so viewers stay for the actual content.
Contrast beats noise
High contrast between glitch and clean states makes the effect read clearly. Keep the base text readable.
Match the colour to your brand
Stream overlays look cohesive when glitch colors match your existing palette.
