Scanline Glitch
Glitch & Distortion · Animated · pure CSS
CRT-style scanlines over the text with a subtle flicker. Adds a retro-monitor texture without obscuring the letters.
How it works
Scanline Glitch is an animated glitch & distortion text effect rendered entirely in CSS. It works on a single element — just add the .text-effect class, with no extra HTML.
Controls
Scanline Glitch exposes 2 dedicated controls — Hue and Speed — on top of the shared type controls (font, weight, letter-spacing and case). Open it in the generator to tune every value live, then copy the updated CSS.
CSS
/* Scanline Glitch — made with TEXT-FX · https://text-fx.app
* HTML: just put the class on any element.
* Font: 'Bungee', cursive (load from Google Fonts).
