Zalgo Text Generator

What is Zalgo Text?

Zalgo Text is a style of text that uses Unicode combining characters to create "corrupted" or "glitchy" text with characters stacked above and below the base letters. It's named after an internet meme and creates a distinctive, chaotic appearance.

Zalgo text is used for:

  • Internet Memes: Create creepy or glitchy text effects
  • Creative Expression: Add unique styling to text
  • Artistic Projects: Create visually interesting text designs
  • Entertainment: Fun text transformation for social media
  • Testing: Test how systems handle unusual Unicode characters

Zalgo text works by adding Unicode combining diacritical marks (characters that modify other characters) above and below base letters. Each character gets a random number of these marks, creating the chaotic "corrupted" appearance. Note that some systems may not display Zalgo text correctly.
