The Zalgo Text Generator creates the iconic corrupted text effect that has become synonymous with internet horror culture. Named after the cosmic entity of chaos from creepypasta lore, Zalgo text appears to glitch and overflow beyond its normal bounds.
The effect is achieved by stacking Unicode combining characters above and below each letter. These diacritical marks, normally used for accents in various languages, pile up to create the appearance of text being consumed by corruption.
Our generator offers three intensity levels. Light Zalgo adds subtle corruption suitable for any platform. Medium Zalgo creates a noticeably haunted appearance. Heavy Zalgo maximizes the effect for dramatic impact, though it may display differently on some systems.
Content creators use Zalgo text for horror game streams, creepy social media posts, and Halloween content. The visual corruption instantly communicates themes of darkness, chaos, and the supernatural. Music artists and alternative communities embrace it as part of their aesthetic.
Each generation produces unique results due to the random selection of combining characters. This unpredictability adds authenticity to the corrupted appearance, making every piece of Zalgo text one-of-a-kind.
