Glitch Text Generator (Zalgo)
Glitch text stacks marks on top of, through and under every letter until it looks corrupted, haunted or broken. It’s also known as zalgo text, cursed text or creepy text.
Press Shuffle for a new random pattern, and pick a lighter style if the heavy one spills over other lines. Use it for spooky names, horror posts and memes — in small doses, because it’s hard to read.

Questions
What is zalgo text?
Zalgo is the internet name for text covered in so many accent marks that it seems to glitch. The marks are real Unicode characters made for accents, so the text pastes almost anywhere.
Why does glitch text overlap other lines?
Each mark sits above or below its letter, and the heavy styles stack a lot of them. Some apps cut off the extra height, others let it spill over. The light style is best for names and comments.
Can I turn glitch text back into normal text?
Yes. Paste it into the remove formatting tool: it takes off the marks and gives you back the plain letters.
