Cursed text generator
The meme-culture name for glitch text, tuned for usernames and gaming chat.
Controls the density of accent marks stacked above each character.
Controls the density of strikethrough-style marks. These are the marks most likely to render as boxes on old devices — keep this low if you need the text to be widely readable.

Built for Discord, Roblox and Minecraft names
"Cursed text" is the name this effect goes by mostly in gaming and Discord communities, usually for usernames, nicknames and status text rather than long captions. Those fields are often short and byte-limited, so this page starts at a lower default intensity than the zalgo preset — enough to look cursed without immediately getting trimmed.
Turn the sliders up if you want it heavier, or check the renderability badge under the output before you commit it as a permanent username — some platforms enforce stricter limits than others.
Frequently asked questions
Will Discord let me use cursed text as my username?
Discord accepts Unicode text in display names and nicknames, but very heavy mark density can get trimmed or rejected — check the renderability badge and keep "through" intensity low for usernames.
Does Roblox support cursed text in usernames?
Roblox usernames are more restrictive than display names — cursed/Unicode text is more likely to work in your Roblox bio or status than in the account username itself.
Why did my Minecraft name go glitchy on its own?
That's usually a rendering issue with a resource pack or font mod, not cursed text you typed — this tool is for deliberately generating the effect, not diagnosing an existing glitch.
