Glitch Text Effects for Photoshop

Create your own glitch art with these smart object-based templates!

I like adding various distortion/anaglyph effects to texts and other objects, so I thought I would create a little collection of these effects so you can customize your texts as well, and create your own glitch designs 😀

This set includes 16 different effects provided as PSD files, all working with smart object replacement. Just open the smart object layer, paste your design or write your text, and close the document – easy as that! In case you’re not familiar with this system, I’ve included a PDF instructions sheet with pictures explaining the process.

These templates are fully editable and layered – which means that all the layers are named & arranged for easy editing. You can edit the TV static & scan lines textures, change the background color or add your own picture as a background, modify the hue and saturation of the effect, and of course replace the text with your own.

The PSD files are 3000 x 2200 large, with a resolution of 300 DPI to ensure a good quality if you are using these effects for printed designs.

Please note: these effects are designed for texts and one-color only graphics (with transparency). They won’t work on photos, drawings or other images.
