Questions

What is Zalgo text?
Zalgo text is text with many combining Unicode diacritical marks stacked above and below each character, creating a glitchy, corrupted appearance. It is sometimes called "cursed text" or "glitch text".
How do I control the intensity of Zalgo text?
Use the intensity slider to adjust how many combining characters are added. Low intensity adds a subtle distortion, while high intensity stacks many marks above and below each letter for a heavily corrupted look.
Can I paste Zalgo text on social media?
Yes, Zalgo text uses standard Unicode combining characters and works on most social media platforms, messaging apps, and forums. Some platforms may strip or limit combining characters.
Is Zalgo text accessible to screen readers?
Screen readers will attempt to read each combining character individually, which makes Zalgo text very difficult to consume with assistive technology. Avoid using it for any content that needs to be accessible.
Does the Zalgo text generator work offline?
Yes, the generator runs entirely in your browser by adding Unicode combining characters to your input. No internet connection is needed after the page loads.
