Zalgo Text Generator (G̷l̸i̵t̶c̷h̸y̵)

A Zalgo text generator layers combining Unicode marks above, through, and below your letters to create a chaotic, corrupted look. Use it to add horror vibes to memes, chat messages, or stream overlays. The tool runs in your browser, so you can tweak intensity without sending any data out.

1. Enter text: Paste words, phrases, or emojis.
2. Set intensity: Choose low, medium, or high distortion to control how glitchy the output appears.
3. Copy output: Click Copy to paste the cursed text anywhere that supports Unicode.

• Instant atmosphere: Add creepy style to Halloween posts or game streams without design software.
• Full control: Adjust distortion per layer to keep text readable or push it to full chaos.
• Local privacy: All processing stays in your browser, so drafts remain private.

Use case 1: Horror meme captions

Turn simple captions into unsettling text to match dark images or GIFs.

Use case 2: Stream overlays

Add glitchy labels on Twitch scenes without exporting images.

Use case 3: Spoiler hiding

Increase distortion to partially mask words until you toggle them off.

Output: e̵͚͗n̶͈̅t̴̝̍e̶͉͌r̷͓͂ ̶͈̎ä̵̢́t̶̙͛ ̴̨̌y̶͙͑ò̸̗u̶̝̒r̵̖͊ ̵̫̇r̶̳͌i̸̠͑ŝ̴̘k̴͔̎

Text looks blank

Some fonts strip combining marks. Switch to a modern font or paste into an app that supports Unicode combining characters.

Too distorted to read

Lower the middle distortion or disable one layer to bring legibility back.

• Keep distortion low for longer phrases; use high levels for short warnings.
• For social posts, preview on both light and dark themes to ensure marks stay visible.
• Pair with the bubble text generator for contrast in the same design.

• Create bold headers with the bold text generator.
• Flip perspective with the upside down text generator.
