Complete Guide: Zalgo Text Generator
Everything you need to know about using this tool effectively
The Zalgo Text Generator transforms normal text into glitchy, corrupted-looking Zalgo text by adding combining Unicode characters above, below, and through each letter. You control the intensity (how many combining characters per letter). The output works on any platform that supports Unicode. All processing happens in the browser.
This tool inserts combining diacritical marks (Unicode characters that stack on top of base characters) around each letter in your text. The intensity setting controls how many combining marks are added per letter, creating increasingly chaotic results.
