Frequently Asked Questions
How does glitch text work?
Glitch text is created by stacking Unicode combining diacritical marks above, below, and through each character. These marks are designed for languages that use accents, but layering many of them produces a visually distorted, glitchy appearance.
What does the craziness slider control?
The slider adjusts how many combining marks are added per character and the probability of adding them. Lower values produce a subtle distortion, while higher values pile on marks for an extreme, barely-readable effect.
Is glitch text the same as Zalgo text?
They are closely related. Zalgo text is a specific style of glitch text named after a creepypasta character. This tool generates glitch text using the same Zalgo technique — stacking Unicode combining characters — but focuses on a digital glitch aesthetic rather than horror.
Will glitch text break my message or post?
Glitch text is safe to use in most contexts. However, extremely high craziness levels can make text hard to read and may render differently across platforms. Some platforms may also trim excessive combining characters.
