Glitch Static AI Display Font Generator

Glitch Static renders letters corrupted by analog television noise: much of each stroke replaced by dense white-noise pixel scatter, with rectangular scan-line bands of pure static crossing at intervals. It captures found-footage horror and VHS-deterioration aesthetics — lo-fi, unsettling and broken.

There is no installable file. You type your text and the generator applies the static and scan-line bands to those specific letters, keeping them readable under the noise, and returns a high-resolution image.

Found-footage horror and thriller titles, lo-fi and experimental music, VHS-themed content, glitch art, underground event flyers, dark tech and streaming graphics. Keep the word short so the noise has something solid to break up.

It is the picture you see when there is no picture — random electrical noise made visible. An old analog television is built to grab a very faint broadcast signal and amplify it enormously to fill the screen. When there is no channel tuned in, there is nothing to amplify except the tiny random fluctuations that are always present: thermal noise in the set's own circuits, stray radio interference, even a faint trace of cosmic background radiation from space. The receiver cranks its gain to maximum searching for a signal and blows all of that randomness up into the flickering field of black-and-white dots we call snow. So static is literally the absence of a signal — pure randomness with no order in it — which is why it reads as breakdown and dread: the letter is being overtaken by noise, information dissolving back into the meaningless hiss underneath.
