Zalgo Text Generator

What is Zalgo Text?

Zalgo text is a style of text modification that uses combining characters from the Unicode standard to create "corrupted" or "possessed" looking text. These combining characters stack on top of or below normal letters, creating a glitchy, chaotic effect reminiscent of horror themes or system corruption.

Why Use Zalgo Text?

Zalgo text can help you:

• Create an eerie, unsettling atmosphere in your messages

How Does the Zalgo Text Generator Work?

Our tool works by inserting special Unicode combining characters around each letter of your input text. These characters (like diacritical marks and other modifiers) stack vertically, creating the "corrupted" look. The intensity sliders control how many of these characters are added above, through, and below each letter.
