Typewriter Description

Animate your display name with a typewriter effect — Premium only.

Overview

The Typewriter effect animates your display name so it appears to type out character by character, then erase and repeat. It's one of the most eye-catching username effects on extort.bio.

ℹ

The Typewriter effect is locked to Premium users. Free users can see it in the effects picker but cannot apply it.

Enabling It

Go to Dashboard → Customize → General Customization.
Click Username effects to open the effects picker.
Select Typewriter from the grid.
Click Save — the effect applies to your live profile immediately.

How It Works

The typewriter effect uses a CSS clip-path animation to reveal and hide the text on a 5-second loop:

0–12% — text is hidden (clip fully closed)
12–45% — text types out left to right
45–58% — text is fully visible (pause)
58–88% — text erases right to left
88–100% — text is hidden again (pause before next loop)

Combining with other settings

Works with all text colors and glow settings.
The blinking cursor uses the current text color.
Reduced motion preference disables the animation and shows the text statically.
