Frequently Asked Questions

Glitch text (also called zalgo text) is created by stacking Unicode combining diacritical marks above and below regular characters. These marks are normally used for accents in various languages, but when many are stacked together they create a distorted, glitchy, or "cursed" visual effect that spills outside normal line boundaries.
Glitch text works in Discord, Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, Twitch chat, gaming profiles, and most platforms that support Unicode. It's popular for creepy usernames, horror-themed content, meme posts, and standing out in comment sections.
At light and medium intensity, no. At heavy intensity, this tool caps combining characters at 15 per character to prevent browser slowdown. Extremely long texts with heavy glitch may still render slowly on older devices, so start with medium intensity for longer passages.
Light adds 1–3 combining marks per character for a subtle corruption effect. Medium adds 3–8 marks for clearly visible distortion. Heavy adds 8–15 marks for maximum chaos — characters spill into lines above and below, creating the classic zalgo look.
