What is the Glitch Text Generator?
About this tool
The Glitch Text Generator creates "zalgo" or "cursed" text by stacking Unicode combining diacritical marks on characters. This produces a creepy, corrupted appearance where the text appears to be glitching or breaking out of its boundaries.
Zalgo text uses Unicode combining characters (U+0300 to U+036F) that are designed to stack above, through, and below base characters. By adding many of these marks to each character, the text appears "cursed" or glitched.
Style Variations
Available text transformations
Subtle glitch effect, still readable
