What is Cursed Text Generator?

Cursed text is Unicode text decorated with combining marks that appear above, below, or through normal characters. It is also called glitch text, Zalgo text, or corrupted text. The result can look different across apps because fonts and platforms render Unicode marks in different ways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about using this tool.

Is this cursed text generator free? +

Yes. You can generate cursed, glitch, and Zalgo-style text for free without creating an account.

Does my text get uploaded to PotatoTools? +

No. The text generation and cleanup run in your browser during normal use.

What is Zalgo text? +

Zalgo text is normal text decorated with Unicode combining marks that appear above, below, or through letters. It creates a distorted glitch effect.

Can I remove cursed text after copying it? +

Yes. Switch to Remove mode, paste cursed text, and the tool will strip common Unicode combining marks.

Why does cursed text look different in some apps? +

Different apps, browsers, fonts, and platforms render Unicode combining marks differently, so the same text may look taller, denser, or cleaner in another place.

Can cursed text break layouts? +

Very dense cursed text can stretch line height in some apps. This tool caps processing and keeps the output scrollable to protect the page layout.
