Frequently asked questions

Why does my chat app collapse the Zalgo to plain text?

Some platforms strip combining marks above a threshold to prevent layout-breaking abuse. There is no way around platform-side sanitization.

Will Zalgo text break my page layout?

If pasted into a page with line-height too tight, the up/down marks will overlap adjacent lines. Use sparingly outside chat/decorative contexts.

Is Zalgo text accessible?

No — screen readers will struggle with stacked combining marks. Use only for ornamental content, never for actual readable copy.

What is Zalgo Text Generator?

A Zalgo Text Generator is a tool that transforms ordinary text into a glitched, corrupted appearance by stacking combining diacritical marks above, below, and through each character. Running entirely in the browser, it offers adjustable intensity levels from mild for a subtle creepy effect to chaos for full Zalgo, producing cursed or glitch-style text that can be copied and pasted elsewhere.

Features

Adjustable intensity

Set the number of up, middle, and down marks, or use mild / medium / chaos presets.

Real Unicode

Uses standard combining diacritical marks, so the text pastes into most apps as-is.

Regenerate

Each generation stacks a fresh random set of marks for a different glitch.

100% private

Runs client-side — your text never leaves the browser.

Summary

Zerethon's Zalgo text generator adds randomly stacked Unicode combining diacritical marks (U+0300–U+036F) above, through, and below each letter to create the glitchy "corrupted" look. You control how many marks go up, middle, and down, and the output is plain Unicode you can paste anywhere that renders combining marks. Because marks are chosen randomly, each run differs; it runs entirely in your browser.
