Zalgo Text Generator
Convert normal text into creepy, glitchy Zalgo unicode text.
About This Zalgo Text Generator
Zalgo text is created by stacking Unicode combining diacritical marks above and below regular characters. The result is creepy, glitchy-looking text that appears to be corrupted or distorted. This generator uses combining characters from the U+0300–U+036F (above) and U+0316–U+0349 (below) ranges to produce the effect.
How to Use
- Type or paste your text into the input box.
- Choose an intensity level: low for subtle distortion, medium for a balanced effect, or high for maximum chaos.
- Click "Regenerate" to randomize the combining characters for a different look.
- Click the "Copy" button to copy the Zalgo text to your clipboard.
- Paste the text into social media, messages, or anywhere you want a creepy effect.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Zalgo text?
Zalgo text is normal text with a large number of Unicode combining characters appended to each letter. These combining marks are designed for accents and diacritics but when stacked excessively they create a glitchy, corrupted visual effect sometimes called "creepy" or "cursed" text.
Will Zalgo text work everywhere?
Zalgo text works on most platforms that support Unicode, including Twitter/X, Facebook, Discord, Reddit, and messaging apps. Some platforms may strip or limit combining characters, which can reduce the effect.
Can Zalgo text damage my device?
No. Zalgo text is just regular Unicode text with extra combining marks. It cannot harm your device, though very long Zalgo text with high intensity may cause some applications to render slowly due to the large number of characters.
What does the intensity slider do?
The intensity controls how many combining diacritical marks are added to each character. Low adds 1–3 marks per character, medium adds 3–8, and high adds 8–18. Higher intensity means more visual distortion.
