What is Zalgo Text Remover?
This tool strips out the combining Unicode marks that make Zalgo text look glitchy and distorted, leaving the original, readable letters underneath.
Why use it?
- Read a Zalgo-styled username or message someone sent you
- Clean up text before pasting it somewhere that doesn't render Zalgo well
- Recover the original message hidden inside a glitchy meme
- Check what a "cursed text" post actually says
How does it work?

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this always fully clean the text?+
It works reliably on text made with standard Zalgo generators, including our own. Text from unusual or custom sources may leave a few small artifacts.
Is this the opposite of the Zalgo Text Generator?+
Yes. The Zalgo Text Generator adds the glitchy marks; this tool removes them.
Does it work on cursed text made from lookalike letters, not marks?+
This tool specifically removes combining marks. Styles that swap letters for different lookalike Unicode characters (rather than stacking marks) aren't affected, since there's no reliable way to guess the original letter.
