Zalgo Glitch Text Generator
Add glitchy combining marks to create Zalgo text.
Create chaotic glitch text
Zalgo text is the "corrupted", dripping style made by stacking many combining Unicode marks onto ordinary letters. This tool adds those marks to your text at an intensity you control, producing the glitch effect popular for horror aesthetics, memes, and edgy usernames.
Because the marks are real Unicode characters, the effect survives copy-paste into places that block images and custom fonts, though the result stays plain text underneath.
Use it carefully and privacy
Heavy Zalgo can overflow into surrounding lines, break layouts, and is unreadable to screen readers, so many platforms limit or strip it — keep the intensity moderate. The generation runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions

It stacks combining Unicode marks above and below each letter. More marks mean a heavier, more chaotic look.
Why do some sites strip it?
Heavy Zalgo overflows into nearby text and breaks layouts, so many platforms limit or remove it. Keep the intensity moderate.
Is my text private?
Yes. The effect is generated in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
