TextGlitch – A Glitch Text Generator]

I made a simple tool called TextGlitch.com that lets you generate “glitch text” (also known as Zalgo text). It works by stacking Unicode combining characters on top of your text so it looks distorted, eerie, or chaotic. You can control the intensity of the glitch, copy the result instantly, and use it on social media, memes, or just for fun. I built it as a side project because most glitch text sites were either overloaded with ads, outdated, or clunky. My goal was to make something clean, fast, and distraction-free. Would love feedback on: - How smooth/usable it feels compared to similar tools - Ideas for features (e.g., styles, presets etc) Thanks for checking it out!
