Free Online Zalgo Text Generator
Add corrupted, glitchy symbols above and below your text for memes and gaming profiles.
Higher values add more combining marks. Very high values can make the text unreadable.
Zalgo text is created with Unicode combining characters. It may display differently in each app, and excessive use can slow down some chat clients.
About the Zalgo Text Generator
Zalgo text is normal text with extra Unicode combining marks added above, below, and through each character. The result looks glitchy or corrupted, which makes it popular for memes, horror-themed posts, gaming names, and social media jokes.
How it works
Combining marks attach to the previous character instead of taking up their own space. By stacking several marks on every letter, the text appears to overflow its line. This tool randomly selects marks for each character and lets you control the intensity.
Using glitch text responsibly
- Keep important text readable. Do not use Zalgo for essential instructions.
- Some apps truncate or filter combining characters.
- Very intense text can be difficult for screen readers and may be removed by moderators.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my text look different in another app?
Each app uses a different font and text renderer. Combining marks can overlap differently depending on the font.
Can I make it less intense?
Yes. Lower the intensity slider and generate again. Intensity 1–3 keeps the effect subtle.
Is Zalgo text a virus?
No. It is just text with combining Unicode characters. It cannot execute code or infect a device.
