Our glitch text generator turns normal text into distorted Unicode text that looks cursed, broken, corrupted, or crossed out. Type your text, choose a glitch style, adjust the power level, and copy the result. The tool also includes a cleaner that removes glitch marks and turns zalgo-style text back into readable text.
What Is Glitch Text?
Glitch text is normal text with extra Unicode combining marks added above, below, or through each character. These marks create the visual effect of corrupted, cursed, distorted, or broken text. It is often called zalgo text, cursed text, corrupted text, weird text, scary text, or broken text.
Unlike a font, glitch text is made from real Unicode characters. That means you can copy and paste it into many apps, comments, chats, posts, bios, and captions without installing anything.

Glitch Styles
The generator includes several practical styles for different uses.
| Style | What It Does | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Light Glitch | Adds a small amount of distortion while keeping the text readable. | Bios, names, captions, short posts |
| Cursed Text | Adds marks above and below the letters for a classic zalgo-style look. | Memes, horror text, comments, dramatic captions |
| Destroyed Text | Adds heavy distortion for a chaotic corrupted effect. | Extreme glitch text, jokes, visual effects |
| Strikethrough Glitch | Adds marks through the middle of the letters. | Broken text, crossed-out effects, corrupted signal style |
| Heavy Below | Pushes most of the distortion under the letters. | Creepy text, cursed comments, underworld-style effects |
What the Glitch Power Slider Does
The glitch power slider controls how many distortion marks are added to each character. Low values keep the result clean and readable. Higher values create stronger cursed, broken, or chaotic text.
| Power Level | Effect | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| 1-4 | Light distortion | Usernames, bios, readable captions |
| 5-9 | Medium glitch effect | Posts, comments, memes |
| 10-14 | Strong cursed effect | Horror text, dramatic captions, stylized messages |
| 15-20 | Extremely corrupted text | Chaotic text, visual effects, short phrases only |
Remove Glitch Text
The cleaner removes the extra Unicode marks from glitched, cursed, or zalgo text. Paste distorted text into the cleaner, click Clean Text, and the tool will return a normal readable version.
This is useful when you copy text from a comment, username, message, or post and want to remove the visual distortion. It can also help clean text before using it in a document, form, title, filename, or normal message.

Is Glitch Text a Real Font?
No. Glitch text is not a font file. It uses Unicode combining marks added to normal letters. That is why the result can be copied and pasted like regular text. A true font changes how text is displayed, but glitch text changes the actual characters inside the text.
Why Glitch Text Sometimes Looks Different
Different apps, websites, browsers, and operating systems can display Unicode combining marks differently. One app may show a clean cursed effect, while another may show stacked marks, clipped letters, missing symbols, or extra spacing. This is normal for highly distorted Unicode text.
Where Glitch Text Works Best
Glitch text usually works best in short decorative text. Good places to use it include comments, captions, memes, usernames, short bios, Discord messages, Reddit posts, and visual design ideas.
For important information, use normal text. Glitch text can be harder to read, harder to search, and harder for screen readers. It may also fail in forms, usernames, emails, passwords, URLs, filenames, and SEO titles.
