Type something to corrupt
Every style updates live as you type.
Paste glitched text to strip every combining mark, zero-width character and stylised alphabet back to plain readable text. Upside-down and mirrored text is also reversed when it is made, so use Reverse order to put it back.
How glitch text is made
Zalgo text is not a font and not an image. Each glitched character is an ordinary letter followed by one or more Unicode combining diacritical marks, most of them from the block U+0300 to U+036F. A combining mark attaches to the character before it and occupies no horizontal space of its own, so the marks pile up above, through and below the letter while the line of text stays the same width.
That is why the effect survives copy and paste. You are sending real code points, so any app that accepts Unicode renders them, with no download, no image and no special font at the other end.
The three zones
- Above. Breves, macrons, rings and the superscript letters in U+0363 to U+036F stack upward. This is where the height comes from.
- Through. Overlay marks sit on the letter itself, giving the struck-through, static-covered look without adding height.
- Below. Cedillas, rings and dots stack downward and are what make text bleed into the line beneath it.
Why the character count matters
Every mark is a separate code point. A 20-character sentence at high intensity can run past a thousand code points, which is why a post that looks short gets rejected as too long. The counter above shows visible characters and actual characters separately, and flags the common platform limits.
Glitch text hakkında sık sorulanlar
How does glitch text actually work?
Every glitched character is normal text followed by Unicode combining diacritical marks, mostly from the range U+0300 to U+036F. Combining marks attach to the character before them and take up no horizontal space of their own, so they stack above, through and below the letter. One visible character can be a dozen code points.
Will it work on Discord, X and Instagram?
Yes, because the output is real Unicode rather than an image or a font file. Discord renders stacked marks most faithfully; X and Instagram clip very tall stacks to protect line height, so use a lower intensity there. The character counter above shows how many code points you are actually sending against each platform's limit.
Why does my text count as thousands of characters?
Because each combining mark is its own code point. At high intensity a 20-character sentence can exceed 1,000 code points, which is why a post can be rejected as too long even though it looks short. The counter shows visible characters and actual characters separately for exactly this reason.
Can I remove the glitch from text someone sent me?
Yes. That is what the cleaner below the generator does. It strips every combining mark, removes zero-width and bidirectional control characters, and maps stylised alphabets such as fullwidth, circled and small caps back to plain ASCII. Upside-down and mirrored text is reversed as well as substituted, so there is a Reverse order button for that case. Styles that discard capitalisation, like small caps, come back lowercase, that information is genuinely not in the text.
Is glitch text safe to use in a username?
It is allowed on most platforms, but some reject stacked marks in display names, and heavy Zalgo can break layouts for other users or make text unreadable to screen readers. Keep it light for names and save the heavy settings for one-off posts.
Does this send my text anywhere?
No. The generator runs entirely in your browser, the same as every other tool on this site. Nothing you type is transmitted, logged or stored.
