How glitch text works

The generator keeps each base letter and appends several combining marks. Those marks were designed to attach accents and other signs to a preceding character; stacking several produces the familiar Zalgo effect.

Because the text remains Unicode, it can often be copied like normal text. Rendering is controlled by the destination font and layout, so two apps may clip or space the same result differently.

Glitch Text Generator FAQ

What is glitch or Zalgo text?+

It is normal text followed by Unicode combining marks that render above, through, or below the base characters. More marks create a denser visual distortion.

How do I make glitch text?+

Type once in the generator, compare the Mild, Medium, and Heavy results, then copy the intensity you want.

Can I remove the glitch effect later?+

Yes. Paste the text into the cleaner and press Clean text. It removes common Unicode combining-mark ranges while keeping the underlying characters.

Why does heavy glitch text overlap other lines?+

Combining marks extend beyond a character's usual box. Dense results can collide with nearby lines or be clipped by an app, so Heavy works best for a short phrase.

Does glitch text work everywhere?+

No single style is guaranteed everywhere. Some apps limit combining marks, normalize the text, or display it differently. Test a Mild result first and avoid using it for essential information.
