Scramble and distort your text with Unicode overlay marks — a word distorter that pastes anywhere. Type below and copy instantly.

Glitch text stacks combining marks above and below letters for vertical chaos. Distorted text uses a different set of overlay marks — tilde overlays, stroke overlays and solidus marks — that cross through letters horizontally, giving a "scrambled signal" look rather than a "broken display" look. Hit ⟳ on either row to compare the two side by side.
A word distorter applies Unicode combining overlay characters to each letter, making the text look scrambled, corrupted or stretched while remaining copyable as plain text. This tool does exactly that — each character gets one or more overlay marks applied at random, so the result looks different every time you reroll.
Yes — the result is plain Unicode, so it pastes into any field that accepts normal characters: Discord, Instagram, TikTok, game chat, usernames. Some platforms cap combining marks per character and quietly trim very heavy distortion; the lighter Distorted row on this page stays within safe limits on almost all platforms.
Both use the same horizontal overlay marks. Distorted applies two marks per letter — readable but clearly corrupted. Scrambled applies three, pushing the text further toward illegibility. Use Distorted when you still need the word to be decipherable; use Scrambled for a more extreme corrupted-signal effect.
A distorted text generator applies Unicode combining overlay marks to each letter — tilde overlays, stroke overlays and solidus marks that cross through the characters horizontally — producing scrambled, stretched or corrupted-looking text you can copy and paste anywhere. It's a word distorter built from standard Unicode, so no font, plugin or app install is needed. The output works in any plain-text field: bio boxes, chat, usernames, captions.
Unlike glitch text which stacks marks vertically above and below letters, distorted text uses a different Unicode combining mark subset (U+0334–U+0338) designed to overlay directly on the letter's face. The effect reads as a horizontal scramble or signal interference rather than a vertical zalgo collapse.
All four styles on this site use Unicode combining marks, but with different mark pools and intensities. Distorted (this page) uses horizontal overlay marks (U+0334–U+0338) for a crossed-through, scrambled-signal look. Glitch stacks vertical above/below marks for a corrupted-display aesthetic. Broken blends marks at medium intensity, suggesting a signal degrading rather than fully failing. Creepy uses heavy zalgo stacking for a demonic or satanic text effect. Try all four and pick the one that fits the intensity you need.
