Zalgo Text Generator
Compare the 48 combinations of Unicode characters and Zalgo effects shown above, in the middle, below and mixed together; copy each result individually.
The effect uses Unicode combining characters. The number of these is limited to ensure the text and page remain legible; the display varies by platform.
What is the Zalgo text generator used for?
It creates a striking visual effect with marks above and below the letters.
Understand the concept and the difference between this style
Zalgo uses stacked Unicode combining characters around the letters. The overlapping creates a chaotic appearance without turning the text into an image.
How it works in practice
Unicode combining marks are stacked on top of ordinary characters.
How to choose and assess the result
Compare the same word in light and bold styles. The more marks there are, the greater the risk that the text will spill over onto neighbouring lines and become illegible.
Tips on how to copy and make better use of it
High brightness may affect screen readers, layout and compatibility.
Use this only as a visual effect in short sections; platforms may remove these marks or handle them in some other way.
Understanding the Zalgo effect
Overlapping, combined fonts alter the appearance of the text and can make it difficult to read. Start with a light weight and short sentences.
Avoid overdoing it
Platforms may standardise or block combining characters in usernames and posts.
