What Is a Zalgo Text Generator?

Zalgo text exploits Unicode's combining diacritic marks — the accents and dots normally used to write é, ñ or å — by stacking many of them on top of each letter. The result is the iconic "glitched out" look that became an internet horror meme in the late 2000s, often captioned "he comes" or used to suggest corrupted, possessed text.

The tool offers three intensity presets (Light, Medium, Heavy) and three toggles for where the marks attach (Above, Middle, Below). Heavy intensity can break line heights, crash older browsers and trigger spam filters — use it for fun, not for important content.

The transform runs in your browser, so paste freely.
