FAQ

What is Zalgo text?

Zalgo text is normal text with lots of Unicode “combining marks” stacked above, below and through each letter. It looks glitchy or cursed, but it's still plain text you can copy and paste.

Does it work on X, Instagram and Discord?

Yes, mostly. X, Discord, Reddit and most chat apps display it. Instagram works in bios, captions and comments but may trim very tall text. Some apps strip or clip marks, so try a lower intensity if yours looks cut off. On X, every combining mark counts toward the 280-character limit. The preview above is only an example of how your post looks.

Why don't the colours paste?

Copied text is just characters. It has no colour, so apps show it in their default colour. To keep your colours, use Download image and post the PNG.

Can I make the text blue on X?

Yes, and blue is the only colour you can get in pasted text. X colours hashtags blue, so if you turn on Blue on X (hashtag trick), a # goes right before each glitched word and X shows it as a blue hashtag link. The # itself is never glitched, so the link still works. It's on by default in Drip mode.

What is drip-line text?

Each chosen word gets a long run of “below” marks on its last letter, so it looks like a long vertical drip. That's the look from those viral posts.
