Zalgo Text Generator
Create creepy, glitchy Z̸̢͝a̷l̴g̷o̶ text with adjustable intensity.
Zalgo text looks like a character possessed by static — letters dripping and clawing with chaotic marks above and below. It's built by stacking many Unicode combining diacritics onto each character, and it's a staple of spooky posts, horror aesthetics, glitch art and creepypasta usernames.
Type your text and drag the intensity slider to control how corrupted it gets, from a light shimmer to a full descent into chaos. The output is copy-paste-ready Unicode. Because the marks stack vertically, heavy Zalgo can overflow line spacing — which is exactly the unsettling effect intended.
