Zalgo Text Generator

Zalgo text stacks Unicode combining marks around letters to make them look corrupted, haunted, or unstable. The marks travel with the copied characters; this is not an image filter or a downloadable font. This tool offers a controlled range from a light accent to a dense stack.

Control the effect

Compare None, Mild, Medium, Strong, and Extreme together, then copy any result card. Advanced settings provide a separate custom result with intensity from 0 to 10. Above and Below can each add up to ten marks to a supported character; Through letters adds at most two overlays so the middle does not become an uncontrolled pile. Disable any direction independently in Advanced settings; directions apply to every result. Randomize marks changes their selection without changing your input or settings.

Zalgo versus light glitch text

Our Glitch generator offers a fixed, readable corruption effect alongside slash, monospace, and other tech-inspired styles. This Zalgo page focuses on controlling the amount and placement of combining marks. For a readable cyberpunk label, try Glitch; for a rising, falling, or heavily corrupted line, use the controls here.

Keep the output manageable

The tool accepts up to 1,000 input characters and works on Latin letters, digits, and basic punctuation. It keeps spaces, line breaks, emoji, and complex scripts intact. Existing dense combining-mark clusters are left unchanged. None or disabling all directions restores the original input for this session; it does not strip marks from previously pasted Zalgo text. Heavy output can clip, overlap, or be rejected by a destination field. Keep essential content in plain text and use the effect for short decorative phrases.
