You can write in Zalgo text by typing ordinary words into a generator and adding combining marks above, through or below the letters. Start with a readable preset, then adjust the controls you need. This walkthrough uses our generator’s exact settings so you can follow the same process and understand why your result changes.
You can convert Zalgo text to normal text by removing the decorative combining marks around its letters. You’ll find a cleanup tool easier than deleting marks one by one. You should still check the result, especially if the words contain accents or the original effect replaced letters as well as decorating them.
You’ll see Zalgo text used for glitch art, fictional error messages, short dramatic captions and decorated display names. You can give a few words a damaged or unstable appearance with those stacked marks. Whether it helps your design depends on what readers need to understand, so it’s worth choosing the job before turning up the distortion.
The changing glitch text in Minecraft is called obfuscated text. You can prepare it using formatting codes or text components, but the right method depends on your edition and the field you’re using.

You can make glitch text by adding decorative Unicode marks to your words, or by creating an image or animation. If you’re making a message or bio, you’ll want copyable text. For a banner or moving effect, you’ll need a file. Here’s how to choose and make the right one.
