2 Choose an intensity level: Low for subtle glitch, Medium for moderate, or High for extreme effect.

Zalgo text works by stacking Unicode combining diacritical marks above and below each character. These marks are normally used in languages that need accent marks, but when many are stacked together, they create a "corrupted" or "glitchy" visual effect. The text remains valid Unicode and can be pasted into most apps, social media posts, and messages.

The intensity setting controls how many combining marks are added per character. Low adds 1-3 marks for a subtle effect, Medium adds 3-7 for a noticeable glitch, and High adds 7-15 for extreme distortion. The above/below toggles let you control whether marks extend upward, downward, or both. Zalgo text is popular for creepypasta, memes, and creative social media posts.
