Glitch Text Generator

Create distorted, corrupted-looking text with the free Glitch Text Generator. Enter normal text and the tool adds Unicode combining marks to create a glitch or Zalgo-style effect that you can copy and use wherever Unicode text is supported.

Choose from Light, Medium, or Heavy intensity depending on how distorted you want the result to look. Your original letters, numbers, punctuation, and spaces remain in the text while Unicode marks are added around the characters.

How to Generate Glitch Text

1. Enter or paste your normal text into the input box.
2. Choose Light, Medium, or Heavy glitch intensity.
3. View the generated glitch text in the result box.
4. Copy the result or download it as a text file.
5. Use Clear whenever you want to start again.

Glitch and Zalgo-Style Text

Glitch text is created by adding Unicode combining characters above, through, and below ordinary characters. When several of these marks are combined, the text gets the distorted appearance often associated with Zalgo text.

For example, normal text such as “Hello” can be transformed into a corrupted-looking version while the underlying letters remain part of the result.

The exact appearance may vary between browsers, fonts, apps, and devices because different platforms can display Unicode combining marks differently.

Choose Your Glitch Intensity

The intensity setting controls how many combining marks are added to your text.

Light adds a smaller number of marks for a more readable effect. Medium creates a stronger glitch appearance, while Heavy adds more marks for a much more distorted result.

You can switch between the levels to find an effect that works for your text.

What Can You Use Glitch Text For?

Glitch text can be used for creative usernames, profile text, social posts, messages, captions, gaming names, or other places where decorative Unicode characters are supported.

Because compatibility varies between platforms, preview your generated text in the app or website where you plan to use it.

The tool works directly in your browser and generates the result instantly. You can experiment with different intensity levels, copy the generated text, download it as a .txt file, or clear the tool and create another version.
