Zalgo Text Generator

Zalgo Text Generator

Create classic dripping Zalgo text with stacked diacritics and digital horror effects. Perfect for scary bios, dark Discord profiles, and creepy posts. Free.

How This Text Style Works

This tool creates distorted text by stacking Unicode combining diacritical marks (U+0300-U+036F) above, within, and below characters. By adding multiple marks per letter, the text appears to "bleed" beyond its normal bounds.

The effect is named after a 2004 Something Awful forum meme and gained popularity on Tumblr and Discord. All processing runs in your browser — your text never leaves your device.

Example

Input: Hello
Output: H̷̨e̶̢l̵̡l̸̢o̷̢

Unicode Blocks Used

This tool uses Combining Diacritical Marks (Unicode range U+0300–U+036F). These are zero-width characters that stack above, below, or through a base character. By layering multiple combining marks per letter, the text appears distorted or "glitched." This technique is sometimes called "Zalgo text" after an internet meme.

Platform Compatibility

This output uses standard Unicode characters and works on:

• Discord — fully supported in usernames, channel names, and messages
• Instagram — works in bio, name, and captions
• TikTok — works in bio and video descriptions
• Twitter/X — works in display name and bio (not all styles in tweets)
• Facebook — works in bio and About section
• YouTube — works in channel description and comments
• Twitch — works in chat and panel descriptions

If characters appear as empty boxes (□), the device may need an OS update for full Unicode font support.
