About Zalgo Text Generator
The Zalgo Text Generator transforms ordinary text into the dripping, glitching, "cursed" style you see in memes, horror usernames and creepy social posts.
It works by stacking Unicode combining diacritical marks on top of each letter.
These marks are real characters that browsers render attached to the glyph before them, so a single "a" can end up wearing dozens of accents that spill above, through and below the line.
Because the underlying letters are unchanged, the corrupted text is still plain Unicode you can paste into chat apps, profiles, comments and documents.
You control exactly how chaotic the result is.
Three intensity levels — mini, normal and maxi — set how many marks pile onto each character, and independent toggles let you add marks above the baseline, through the middle, below, or any combination.
Click Re-roll to draw a fresh random arrangement whenever you want a different look, since each generation samples the marks at random.
Spaces and line breaks are left untouched so your layout survives the corruption.
A word of warning: heavy Zalgo can be hard for screen readers to interpret and may break in some apps, so use it for fun rather than important messages.
Everything runs locally in your browser — your text is never uploaded or stored — and you can copy the finished cursed text with one click.
FAQ
How does Zalgo text actually work?
It stacks Unicode combining diacritical marks onto each base letter. The letters stay the same; the extra marks render attached to them, creating the glitchy overflow effect.
Can I paste Zalgo text anywhere?
Mostly yes — it is standard Unicode. Some apps strip or limit combining marks, and very heavy Zalgo can look broken, so test before posting somewhere important.
Will the same input always look identical?
No. Each generation samples marks at random, so clicking Re-roll gives a fresh variation of the same text.
