About the Zalgo Text Generator
Zalgo text — also called glitch text, corrupted text, or cursed text — is normal text overloaded with layered Unicode combining marks so it appears to melt, drip, and glitch out of its line. This generator turns anything you type into zalgo instantly, right in your browser, and every result is ready to copy and paste anywhere that accepts Unicode.
The effect comes from combining diacritical marks — the same accent characters used to write letters like é or ñ. Stack dozens of them above, through, and below each letter and you get the chaotic, possessed look popularised by the “He Comes” Zalgo meme. Because it is real Unicode and not an image, you can paste it straight into a bio, comment, or message.

Tips & Compatibility
Zalgo renders best on Discord, most desktop browsers, and X/Twitter. Some apps clamp the height of combining marks, so a lighter intensity often looks cleaner on Instagram and TikTok. Because heavy zalgo is hard for screen readers to interpret, use it for decoration rather than essential information — keep an unstyled version of important text nearby for accessibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is zalgo text?
Zalgo text is normal text combined with many stacked Unicode diacritical marks, giving it a glitchy, corrupted, dripping look. It is plain text (not an image), so it can be copied and pasted anywhere Unicode is supported.
How do I copy and paste zalgo text?
Type your text above, and each zalgo version updates instantly. Tap the Copy button next to the style you want, then paste it into your bio, message, or post with a normal paste (Ctrl+V or long-press → Paste).
Does zalgo text work on Discord, Instagram and TikTok?
Yes. It works reliably on Discord and most browsers. Instagram and TikTok display it too, though they may trim very tall marks, so a lighter intensity usually looks best there.
Is the zalgo generator free and safe?
Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser — your text never leaves your device.
