Glitch text generator

Creepy, corrupted Zalgo text with a glitch amount you control. Free, and nothing leaves your device.

How glitch text works

Glitch or Zalgo text stacks combining marks above, through and below each letter until it looks corrupted. Glitch light and Glitch are free, and the Glitch amount slider turns them up or down. The heavier Zalgo, Bold glitch and Cursed gothic styles are in Fancy Text Pro.

How to use it

  1. Type your text in the box at the top. Until you do, the styles show “Something is wrong”.
  2. The glitch styles come first. Tap one to copy it; styles marked PRO are part of Fancy Text Pro.
  3. Paste it wherever you like: a bio, a caption, a comment or a message.

Questions

Is Zalgo text safe to post?

It is ordinary text, but heavy glitch spills over the lines above and below, some apps trim it, and screen readers read out every mark. Keep it short and away from anything important.

Why does the glitch stay the same as I type?

The marks are chosen from your text, so the same words always glitch the same way and nothing flickers while you type.
