Zalgo Text Generator
Create glitchy, corrupted-looking text
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Zalgo text?
Zalgo text uses Unicode combining characters to create a glitchy, corrupted appearance with marks above, below, and through normal characters. It's often used for humorous or dramatic effect in online communication.
How does the intensity slider work?
The intensity slider controls how many combining characters are added to each base character. Lower values (1-3) create subtle effects, while higher values (7-10) create heavily distorted text with many overlaying characters.
Where is Zalgo text commonly used?
Zalgo text is popular on social media, messaging apps, forums, and in creative writing for dramatic effect. It's often used to convey intense emotions, create horror-themed text, or add visual interest to messages.
Are there any limitations to Zalgo text?
Some older systems or applications may not render combining characters correctly. Excessive use can make text difficult to read, and some platforms may filter or block heavily zalgo'd text for spam prevention.
