Frequently asked questions

What makes Zalgo text look glitchy?
It stacks hundreds of Unicode combining characters on each letter, pushing them above and below the baseline.
Does Zalgo text break websites?
It can overflow CSS line-height and break visual layouts in some older interfaces. Use it carefully in web forms.
Can I control how intense the effect is?
Yes. The intensity slider controls how many combining characters are added per letter.
Is Zalgo text reversible?
You can strip combining characters with the Strip Special Chars tool to recover the base text.
