Y2K Text & Graphics Effect

Boot up, dial in, and brace yourself — this is the internet aesthetic in its purest form. A neon-drenched Y2K text effect straight out of a pixelated dream, where loading screens took ages, chatrooms ruled the night, and glossy metallic fonts were the future.

This Smart Object-powered PSD transforms text and graphics into a high-voltage spectacle of electric hues, glitchy gradients, and CRT-style pixelation. In case you're designing for retro-futuristic posters, vaporwave album covers, or cyber-dystopian branding, this effect locks your visuals into a world where the future is shiny, chaotic, and just a little bit unreal. For maximum impact, pair it with sharp, tech-infused typefaces that echo the bold, synthetic energy of the early 2000s.

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
