Glitch text generator
Type a line and get glitch text you can copy and paste into a bio, a chat or a post. Each letter gets a stack of Unicode combining marks above, through and below it, which is what makes the text look corrupted.
Glitch text (also called Zalgo text) is ordinary Unicode text with extra combining marks, so it pastes like any other text. It is not an image, and typinggif does not make glitch animations.
What this tool does and does not do
It changes text only. typinggif has three animation styles, typewriter, terminal and word by word, and none of them is a glitch effect. If you want a moving GIF, pick one of those templates instead; if you want corrupted-looking letters to paste somewhere, use the generator above.
- Light, medium and heavy settings add more or fewer marks per letter.
- Shuffle marks gives a different mix with the same text.
- Remove glitch marks strips every combining mark again. Accents such as é are combining marks too, so they are removed as well.
- The text is made in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
How to make glitch text
- Type or paste your text in the box. Up to 280 characters are used.
- Choose light, medium or heavy, and use Shuffle marks until you like the mix.
- Select Copy text and paste it where you need it.
Where glitch text works
Most apps show combining marks, but many trim tall stacks, cut long names, or hide them in places such as usernames and search. Start with the light setting for names and short labels, and paste a test before you post. Screen readers may read the marks aloud or skip the text, so keep important information in plain text.
Glitch text in a typing GIF
If you paste glitch text into a typing maker, check the preview before you export: the maker draws it with its bundled fonts (Inter, JetBrains Mono, IBM Plex Mono, Space Grotesk), so the marks can look different from your chat app. For a technical look without marks, use plain text with the terminal style.
Frequently asked questions
Can typinggif make a glitch text animation?
No. The animation styles are typewriter, terminal and word by word. This page makes copy-and-paste glitch text, not a GIF.
Is glitch text the same as Zalgo text?
Yes. Both names describe text with many Unicode combining marks stacked on each letter.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The glitch text is made in your browser and is not sent anywhere.
