Cursed Text Generator

Generate c̷r̵e̶e̸p̷y̵ glitch text with Zalgo combining characters. Three intensity levels.

Compatibility

This tool creates glitchy text with Unicode combining marks. The interface can be localized, but the final visual effect depends on your input characters and the rendering engine of the destination platform.

  • Latin text usually produces the clearest and most dramatic effect.
  • Many non-Latin scripts can still receive overlays, but rendering will vary more by platform.
  • Best for playful or creepy text, not for formal communication.

What is Cursed/Zalgo Text?

Cursed text (also known as Zalgo text or glitch text) is created by stacking Unicode combining diacritical marks on top of regular characters. These marks were designed for accents in various languages, but when many are applied at once, they create a "corrupted" or "glitchy" visual effect.

The text is still regular text — it can be copied, pasted, and sent in messages. The visual effect comes entirely from Unicode, not images or special formatting.

Why does cursed text look different on each platform?
