Zalgo Text Generator
Free zalgo text generator. Turn normal text into creepy, cursed zalgo (Ḫ̸̢͞E̛͜ ̕C̸͠O̵M͝E̢S̕) with adjustable intensity and up/middle/down marks — copy and paste it into posts, bios and chats.
Zalgo text — sometimes called cursed or glitch text — is the chaotic, overflowing style where letters drip with marks reaching above and below the line, as if the text itself is corrupted. It's built by stacking dozens of combining unicode characters onto each letter, and it's a favourite for creepy captions, horror memes and "he comes" style posts.
Use the intensity slider to dial the corruption from a light haunt to a full-on void, and toggle the up, middle and down marks to control exactly where the chaos spreads. Copy your cursed text with one tap. Everything is generated locally in your browser, so nothing you type leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions
What is zalgo text?
Zalgo text is normal text overloaded with stacked combining diacritical marks, giving it a corrupted, dripping, cursed appearance. The marks attach to each letter while the underlying text stays copyable.
What do the up, middle and down toggles do?
They choose which combining marks are used: 'up' adds marks above each letter, 'down' adds marks below, and 'middle' adds marks that strike through. Turn any off to limit where the corruption appears.
Why does zalgo text sometimes get cleaned up?
Some platforms normalize or strip excessive combining marks to keep layouts readable, so very heavy zalgo may appear toned down. Lowering the intensity usually survives more places intact.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. All zalgo generation runs locally in your browser and nothing you type is sent to a server.
