FAQ

Does this need JavaScript on the page?
No. The generated CSS works on its own once you add the class to your element.
Can I change the font size?
Yes. Edit the .glitch-text font-size in the generated CSS, or override it with your own styles.
Why use pseudo-elements?
Pseudo-elements let us duplicate the text and animate each copy independently, creating the classic RGB-split glitch look.
