Zalgo Text Generator
A free tool that turns ordinary text into Zalgo, the glitched and corrupted look made from stacked Unicode marks. Type anything and copy the result into a post, a bio, or a chat message.
How to Use the Zalgo Generator
Type or paste into the first box and the glitched version appears below. Every keystroke rerolls the marks, so keep typing or edit the text to get a different pattern, then copy the one you like.
How Zalgo Works
Unicode lets marks stack on a character without limit. Zalgo piles randomly chosen combining marks above, through, and below each letter until it spills out of its line. The letters underneath are unchanged, which is why it still copies and pastes as text.
Where It Works and Where It Does Not
Discord, X, and most chat apps render it. Instagram and some comment systems strip or flatten heavy combining marks, and a few apps clip anything that overflows the line. Paste a sample before committing to it.
Use It Sparingly
Stacked marks can overlap neighbouring lines and make text hard to read or impossible for a screen reader to announce sensibly. A short glitched word inside normal text usually lands better than a whole paragraph.
