Glitch Text Generator

Glitch text is regular text transformed to look corrupted or digitally distorted using special Unicode characters. It works by replacing normal letters with visually similar characters from other Unicode blocks (like Cyrillic or Greek) or by stacking invisible combining diacritical marks above and below each letter. The result looks like a computer glitch or corrupted data.

Zalgo text (named after the internet horror character Zalgo) is created by adding large quantities of Unicode combining diacritical marks above, below, and through regular letters. The result looks chaotic and corrupted, as if the text is 'bleeding' off the page. Our Zalgo generator lets you control the intensity from light (subtle effect) to heavy (extreme chaos).

Cursed text is a heavy variation of Zalgo text with combining diacritical marks stacked both above and below each character. It gives text a disturbing, corrupted aesthetic popular in meme culture and horror fan communities on Reddit, Discord, and Twitter.

Type your text in the input box, choose a style (Glitch, Zalgo, or Creepy work best for Discord), then click the style card to copy. Open Discord, paste (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V) into a message, server nickname, or bio, and send. Discord renders Unicode natively so no special setup is needed.

Use the Glitch, Weird, or Vaporwave styles — these pass Roblox's text filter most reliably. Heavy Zalgo styles may be filtered on some Roblox servers. Type your text, click the card to copy, then paste it into your Roblox display name or profile bio.

Vaporwave and Strikethrough styles work consistently in Minecraft chat and server names. Zalgo text may render differently depending on the Minecraft client and resource pack. Full-width vaporwave characters are the safest option.

Vaporwave text uses Unicode full-width characters — wider, spaced-out versions of normal ASCII letters (ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ). The style is named after the vaporwave music and art aesthetic popular in the 2010s. Unlike Zalgo, full-width text renders perfectly on every platform including SMS, Instagram, and all chat apps.

Most modern platforms support Unicode so glitch text works widely. Vaporwave and Strikethrough work on virtually every platform including SMS. Zalgo Heavy and Demonic may be clipped by some platform font renderers or filtered by content moderation in certain games and apps.

Creepy text is a subtle version of Zalgo that adds a small number of combining diacritical marks above each character. The text stays mostly readable but gains an unsettling, otherworldly appearance. It's popular for Discord usernames, spooky bios, and Halloween-themed content.
