Glitch Text Generator — Zalgo, Cursed & Corrupted Text
Who this is for: For horror game usernames, creepypasta titles, memed-up bios, and anyone who needs text that looks like it escaped from a corrupted file.
Not the right tool for: Accessible or professional contexts — heavy zalgo can stretch line heights and confuses screen readers · Passwords or codes — combining marks change the literal characters; what looks like "hello" is no longer the string hello
Corrupt your text on purpose: zalgo glitch levels from subtle noise to full cursed overflow, plus flipped and mirrored chaos.
Quick answer: Glitch text (zalgo) piles Unicode combining marks onto each letter: "Hello" gains accents-up, -through and -below until it reads as corrupted — light (a few marks) to heavy (line-breaking overflow). It is still plain text, so it copies anywhere.

What is zalgo glitch text, exactly?
Zalgo text stacks combining diacritical marks on top of, below, and through each letter — the marks Unicode normally uses for accents (é, ñ), piled far beyond sane limits. The result looks like the text is bleeding, corrupted, or haunted: light glitch adds a few stray marks (H͔ͩe͖̦ͮl͙̖l͖͈ò), medium turns it visibly cursed, and heavy overflows the line entirely. The corruption is real text, so it copies and pastes anywhere — including places that will regret allowing it.
Common uses
- Spooky usernames and clan tags in games
- Horror-story titles and creepypasta headers
- Meme captions with cursed energy
- Testing how a platform renders dense combining marks
