  2. Copy the glitch style, or a gothic style for a darker look.
  3. Paste it into Discord, TikTok, Instagram or a message.

What is glitch (Zalgo) text?

Glitch text stacks combining marks above and below each letter, so the words look corrupted or haunted. It is often called Zalgo text, after an internet horror meme. The marks are Unicode characters, so the effect survives copy and paste.

Good uses (and when to skip it)

  • Horror, gaming and Halloween posts: a creepy title or channel name.
  • Memes and jokes: a "something went wrong" effect.
  • Short words only: long glitch text spills into lines above and below.
  • Skip it for names people must type: nobody can search or mention glitch text.

This generator uses a moderate, consistent amount of marks so the text stays readable-ish. Some apps strip combining marks or limit how many can stack, so the effect may look lighter after you paste it.

Accessibility warning

Screen readers handle glitch text badly and may read out every mark. Use it for decoration, never for important information.
