How to use it
One line is enough.
Zalgo text is the corrupted, glitchy look people use for memes, horror posts, and anything that should feel slightly unhinged. It works by stacking combining marks onto each letter.
The intensity control matters. At a low setting the word just looks a little off. Turn it up and it starts to fall apart. For most uses, low to medium is the sweet spot, because heavy zalgo becomes unreadable fast.
Keep it to a word or two. This is the accent of accents. A whole paragraph of zalgo is not spooky, it is just hard to look at.
When to use this style
Add adjustable combining marks to create glitchy, chaotic zalgo text for memes, horror aesthetics, and playful messages.
Keep it readable
Decorative Unicode works best in small doses. Use it for a name, a heading, a short joke, or a profile line. If you need people to read a longer message quickly, use plain text for the body and reserve the effect for the important words.
Questions people actually ask
Why does the result look different every time?
The combining marks are picked randomly, so every click gives a slightly different pattern. That is part of the charm.
Can I control how much?
Yes, the intensity slider sets how many marks get stacked per letter.
Does it copy and paste?
Yes, it is still plain text, so it moves between apps. Some apps render the marks better than others.
Is there a way to make it mild?
Set intensity to 1 or 2. The text stays readable but picks up an odd edge.
What if it looks normal in one app?
Some apps collapse the marks. It is a rendering thing, not a problem with the text itself.
