Zalgo text (also called glitch text or corrupted text) is created by stacking Unicode combining diacritical marks above and below regular characters. This produces a 'corrupted' or 'cursed' appearance that looks like the text is glitching or being consumed by chaos.

How does the zalgo text generator work?

Our generator adds random Unicode combining characters (marks that go above, below, and through letters) to each character in your text. You can control the intensity — from subtle glitch effects to extreme corruption.

Where can I use zalgo text?

Zalgo text works on Discord, Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube comments, and most messaging apps. It's popular for creepy/horror aesthetics, memes, and making your messages stand out. Note: some platforms may strip heavy zalgo effects.
