Glitch Text Generator

Type a word and copy it as glitch text: light, medium or fully cursed.

Glitch or zalgo text stacks combining marks above and below each letter. They are real Unicode characters, so the effect survives copy and paste into most apps.

Heavy glitch text spills over lines above and below and can be hard to read, and some apps and games trim long marks or block the text. Every click on the box makes a new random version.

Everything runs inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored on our server, so it also works for private material.

How it works

  1. Type or paste your text Your name, a caption or a few words. Everything stays in your browser.
  2. Pick what you need Tap a style, a symbol or the copy button next to the result.
  3. Paste it into the app Instagram bio, TikTok name, a LinkedIn post or a chat: paste and save.
