Glitchy zalgo text generator
Turn text into glitchy or creepy-looking "zalgo" text by stacking Unicode combining diacritics above, below and through each letter. Adjust the intensity to get the effect you want; everything is generated in your browser.
How it works
Handy for a horror message on social media, an original username, or just having fun with the look of "corrupted" text. Type your text, adjust the intensity slider and copy the result wherever you like.
How does the zalgo effect work technically?
Each letter gets several Unicode "combining characters", symbols originally designed to add accents or diacritical marks, but which, when stacked in large numbers above, below and through the same letter, produce the chaotic, distorted effect typical of zalgo text. The higher the intensity slider, the more diacritics are added to each character.
Does zalgo text display correctly everywhere?
It depends on the text rendering engine used by the app or site where you paste it: most social networks and messaging apps display it as is, but some form fields limit the number of combining characters or truncate the text at a certain intensity level.
The text you enter and the generated result stay entirely on your device.
