Z̸a̸l̸g̸o̸ Text Generator

Create glitchy, creepy zalgo text.

Copied to clipboard

This zalgo text generator stacks chaotic marks above and below your letters for a glitchy, corrupted, “cursed” look — popular in horror memes, edgy usernames and creepy captions. Type your text and copy the distorted version.

How to use the zalgo generator

  1. Type or paste your text.
  2. The glitched zalgo version appears instantly.
  3. Copy it and paste it into your post, username or message.

The glitch effect

Zalgo works by piling Unicode combining diacritical marks onto each character. Those marks were designed to sit above and below letters (like accents), but stacking many at once creates the dripping, overflowing “corrupted” appearance. Because it is real Unicode, the effect pastes into most apps — though heavy zalgo can spill over neighbouring lines.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it look different each place I paste it?

Rendering of stacked combining marks varies by app and font, so the same zalgo text can look slightly different from one platform to another.

Could my post be hard to read or moderated?

Yes. Heavy zalgo is deliberately hard to read and some platforms limit or filter it, so use it for effect rather than important information.

Is it safe to paste anywhere?

It is ordinary Unicode text, so it will not harm anything, but very dense zalgo may overlap surrounding text on some screens.
