## About

### What is glitch (Zalgo) text?

Zalgo text stacks dozens of combining diacritical marks above, through and below each letter, giving that eerie, corrupted, 'cursed' look. This generator lets you control exactly how many marks appear on top, in the middle and underneath, so you can dial in anything from a subtle distortion to a fully overflowing glitch.

### Tune it, randomize it, copy it

Drag the three intensity sliders and watch the preview update live, then hit Randomize for a brand-new pattern. When you like the result, copy it in one click and paste it into Discord, Instagram, gaming usernames, YouTube comments or forums. It all runs locally in your browser — no signup, no limits.

## FAQ

### What is Zalgo or glitch text?

It's text overloaded with stacked Unicode combining marks that make it look corrupted or 'cursed'. This tool lets you control how heavy the effect is and copy the result anywhere.

### Will glitch text work on Discord and Instagram?

Mostly yes. Discord, Instagram and many apps render the combining marks, though some platforms limit how tall the stacks display. Lowering the intensity improves compatibility.

### Why does my glitch text look different each time?

The marks are placed randomly, so every generation — and every Randomize — produces a unique pattern. Adjust the sliders to make it lighter or heavier.

### Is it free?

Yes, completely free, no signup, and it runs entirely in your browser.
