Frequently asked questions

Does this use an image, video, or GIF for the glitch effect?
No. The effect is pure CSS - layered text-shadow copies of the same text, offset and re-clipped on a CSS animation loop. There's no image, video, or GIF file involved.
Can I control how intense the glitch looks?
Yes. The intensity slider controls how far the offset layers shift, and the speed slider controls the animation's timing - combine a low intensity with a slow speed for a subtle effect, or push both up for something more aggressive.
Will this work with any font?
Yes - the effect is applied via CSS to whatever font-family you already use on the element, so it inherits your page's typography.
Does the animation respect prefers-reduced-motion?
The generated CSS doesn't include a reduced-motion override by default - if your site respects prefers-reduced-motion, wrap the generated animation rule in your own `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference)` block before shipping it.
