Frequently asked questions

What is glitch (zalgo) text?

Zalgo text stacks Unicode combining diacritical marks on normal letters so they appear to drip, bleed, or corrupt. It's real text, so it copies and pastes, though some apps clamp how tall the marks render.

Will it work everywhere?

It pastes anywhere that accepts Unicode, but some platforms strip or limit combining marks to stop layout breakage, so very heavy glitch may appear toned down in those places.

Is it free?

Yes — free, no signup, and unlimited, generated entirely in your browser.
