What is Zalgo Text Generator?

The Zalgo Text Generator on textgenerator.fun is a free online tool that transforms your text into a glitchy, distorted style known as Zalgo text, perfect for adding a creepy or chaotic vibe to your social media posts, messages, emails, or other online platforms.

It works by adding random special characters (like accents and symbols) above, below, and around your letters, making the text look jumbled and eerie—for example, turning “Zalgo” into something like “Z̷a̶l̶g̸o̴”. The tool offers four styles: “Classic Zalgo” for a full glitchy effect, “Minimal Zalgo” for a subtler look, “Zalgo Top Only” with marks only above the letters, and “Zalgo Bottom Only” with marks only below. You just type your text, click “Generate,” and copy the style you like with a single click to paste anywhere. It’s easy to use, works on both desktop and mobile, and requires no sign-up, making it a quick way to create spooky, glitchy text!

How to Use the Zalgo Text Generator

Want to give your text a creepy, glitchy look for your social media posts, messages, or emails? The Zalgo Text Generator on textgenerator.fun is a fun tool that adds a chaotic, distorted effect to your text, making it look spooky and jumbled—like turning “Zalgo” into “Z̷a̶l̶g̸o̴”! It’s really easy to use, and I’ll guide you through the steps to create Zalgo text in just a few clicks.

Zalgo Text Generator (copy and paste)

Step 1: Type or Paste Your Text

You’ll see a text box in the center of the page that says, “Type something or paste some text.” Click inside the box and type the text you want to transform—for example, “Zalgo Text” or “I’m spooky!” If you have text copied from somewhere else (like a note or message), you can paste it here by right-clicking and selecting “Paste” or pressing Ctrl + V (or Command + V on a Mac).

Step 2: Click the “Generate” Button

Below the text box, there are two buttons: “Generate” (in teal) and “Clear Text” (in gray). After typing your text, click the “Generate” button. This will create a list of different Zalgo text styles based on what you typed. If you click “Generate” without typing anything, you’ll see a small alert saying, “Please enter some text!”—just go back and add your text.

Step 3: Check Out the Zalgo Styles

After clicking “Generate,” a section called “Preview” will appear below the text box. This section shows your text transformed into four different Zalgo styles! Each style has a name (like “Classic Zalgo” or “Minimal Zalgo”) with the glitchy text displayed below it. For example, if you typed “Zalgo Text”:

  • Classic Zalgo: Shows as something like Z̷a̶l̶g̸o̴ ̸T̴e̶x̷t̸ (with lots of glitchy marks).
  • Minimal Zalgo: Shows a lighter version, like Z̷a̶l̶g̸o̴ T̴e̶x̷t̸, with fewer marks.
  • Zalgo Top Only: Shows marks only above the letters, like Z̓ä́l͆ǵo T͇e͈x͉t.
  • Zalgo Bottom Only: Shows marks only below the letters, like Z̳a̴l̵g̶o T̷e̸x̹t.

Scroll through the list to see all the styles and pick the one you like best.

Step 4: Copy the Style You Want

Next to each Zalgo text, there’s a small copy icon (it looks like two overlapping rectangles). Choose the style you like, and click the copy icon next to it. The icon will change to a checkmark, and the button will turn green for a couple of seconds to show that the text has been copied to your clipboard.

Step 5: Paste Your Zalgo Text Anywhere

Now that you’ve copied the text, you can paste it wherever you’d like—like in a social media post, a chat, or an email. Just go to the place where you want to use the text, right-click and select “Paste,” or press Ctrl + V (or Command + V on a Mac). Your glitchy Zalgo text will appear! For example, if you copied the “Classic Zalgo” style for “Zalgo,” it will paste as something like Z̷a̶l̶g̸o̴.

Step 6: Try Another Style or Clear the Text

If you want to try a different style, just go back to the list and click the copy icon for another option. If you’d like to start over with new text, click the “Clear Text” button below the text box. This will empty the text box and hide the preview section, so you can type or paste something new and generate again.

Tips for Best Results

  • Experiment with Text: Try short words, long sentences, or even emojis to see how they look with the Zalgo effect.
  • Check Where You Paste: Zalgo text uses special characters that look best in apps supporting them, like social media or modern chat apps. Older apps might not display the glitchy effect properly.
  • Use Sparingly: Zalgo text can be hard to read if overused, so it’s great for small phrases or to add a spooky touch!
