Free Zalgo Text Generator
Turn any text into "corrupted" or "glitch" text by stacking random combining Unicode diacritical marks above, below, and through each character — the classic "Zalgo" effect. Adjust the intensity from a subtle wobble to full chaos, then copy the result.
How to Use It
Type your text into the box, then drag the intensity slider between Low, Medium, and High to control how many combining marks get stacked on each character. Click "Regenerate" for a fresh random variation at the same intensity, and "Copy" to grab the result.
Example
Typing "Zalgo text" at Low intensity produces a mildly glitchy version with just a few marks per letter, while High intensity stacks many more marks above and below each character for a dense, heavily corrupted look.
Common Use Cases
- Creating spooky, "cursed," or glitchy usernames and messages for games, forums, or social media.
- Adding a corrupted-text effect to a Halloween or horror-themed post.
- Novelty text for chat apps, bios, or creative writing.
FAQs
Is this a real font or an image?
Neither — it's real, plain Unicode text built by layering combining diacritical marks (a standard part of the Unicode character set) onto each ordinary letter. Since it's genuine text, not an image, you can copy and paste it anywhere that accepts Unicode text, like chat apps, social media bios, or documents.
Why does it look different on different devices?
Very high intensity stacks dozens of combining marks per character, and different fonts and platforms render large stacks of combining marks slightly differently — some may truncate, reflow, or clip the stack. Lower intensities render far more consistently across platforms.
Will Zalgo text break the platform I paste it into?
It shouldn't break anything, but very high-intensity text can look messy, take up unusual vertical space, or get truncated by character limits or content filters on some platforms, since each visual character is actually many Unicode code points combined together.
