Create cursed, scary, and distorted text for Discord & Horror Games.
Glitch text, commonly known as Zalgo text, appears messy, distorted, or "cursed." It looks like the letters are melting or being corrupted by a computer bug.
This effect is achieved using Unicode Combining Characters. In standard computer text, you can stack "diacritical marks" (accents) on top of each other. By stacking 10, 20, or even 50 marks on a single letter, the text begins to overflow vertically, creating the scary "glitch" effect.
Yes, it is safe to copy and paste. However, because it uses many stacked characters, it can sometimes cause minor lag on older phones if the "Intensity" is set too high. Most modern apps (Discord, Twitter, WhatsApp) support it fully.
Simply type your desired message in the box above. Use the slider to adjust how "messy" you want it to look. Then click the red "Copy Cursed Text" button.
The name comes from an old internet meme/creepypasta about a chaotic entity named "Zalgo." The text style represents the corruption associated with the character.
