Glitch Text Generator Zalgo Copy & Paste
Create glitch text and zalgo text in one click, from light glitch to fully cursed. Copy and paste creepy text into Discord, Instagram, TikTok and games.
What Is a Glitch Text Generator?
A glitch text generator adds stacked Unicode marks above, through and below each letter so your words look broken, distorted or “cursed”, like T̷̢͝h̴̛̞i̵̡͝s̸͓̈. This effect is also called zalgo text, creepy text or corrupted text. Type above, pick a level from light glitch to full zalgo, and copy and paste it anywhere.
Every time you type, the marks are shuffled, so you get a new random glitch each time. It works in Discord, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube comments, Roblox and Minecraft chat. For clean styles, try the fancy text generator or our small text generator.

| Zalgo heavy | Z̸̧̛̝̘̓̈́͝ä̵̢̘́l̸̡̛̗̈́g̷̨̛͎̈́o̸̢͝ | Horror posts, memes |
| Creepy gothic | 𝔊̸̨𝔩̷̛𝔦̶͝𝔱̵̢𝔠̴͝𝔥̸̢ | Halloween and dark aesthetic |
How Does Zalgo Text Work?
Unicode includes “combining diacritical marks”, small accents that attach to the letter before them. Normal text uses one at most, like é. Glitch text stacks many of these marks on each letter, so they spill above and below the line and create the corrupted look.
Because the result is still plain text, you can copy it like any other words. Heavy zalgo can overlap nearby lines, so use light or medium glitch for usernames and bios.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make glitch text?
Type your text in the glitch text generator above, choose a level like Glitch Light or Zalgo Heavy and tap Copy. Paste it anywhere that accepts text.
What is zalgo text?
Zalgo text is glitched text made by stacking Unicode combining marks on each letter so it looks corrupted or creepy. Glitch text, cursed text and creepy text are other names for it.
Does glitch text work on Discord?
Yes. Glitch text works in Discord messages, nicknames and server names. Very heavy zalgo may be limited by some servers, so try a lighter level if it does not save.
Why does my glitch text change every time?
The generator picks random marks each time you type, so every result is unique. Copy the one you like before typing again.
Is glitch text safe to use?
Yes. It is normal Unicode text. Just avoid huge amounts of heavy zalgo in one place, because it can overlap lines and be hard to read.
