Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Zalgo text?

It is a style of text created by excessively using Unicode's combining characters to make letters appear distorted and scattered.

Why does this text cause lag?

A high intensity setting adds many characters, which can be demanding for some platforms or devices to render, potentially causing lag.

Can I control where the glitch marks appear?

The tool offers a general intensity control. The specific placement of marks is randomized to create the chaotic effect.

Background

How glitch text stacks up

Enter text, move the intensity control, and see randomized combining marks stack above and below each character. The result and count update right away.

  • Glitch or Zalgo text adds randomized Unicode combining diacritical marks above and below ordinary characters. Increasing intensity adds more marks.
  • Dense glitch effects can be hard for some devices to render. Start with a low intensity and preview the result in your target app.

Full specification

Specification of the Glitch Text Generator tool
What you typePlain text in one box. A character count sits underneath.
Style setOne glitch result, with its own Copy button. It reshuffles on every keystroke and every intensity change.
Intensity controlA slider from 1 to 8, shown as Light, Medium or Heavy. Each step stacks one more mark on every character.
Styles, not fontsUnicode combining marks, not a font. Nothing is installed and no font file is downloaded.
Copy, not downloadThere is no download. The result has a Copy button beside it.
Where it runsIn your browser tab. The text you type never leaves your device.
SpacesMarks are added to every character except a space — letters, digits and punctuation alike. Spaces are left alone, so words stay separate.
Scripts and emojiEvery script works. Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic and emoji all take the marks, because a mark sits on top of a character rather than replacing it.
