Instagram Bold and Italic Text Generator

Instagram has no formatting buttons, so the trick is to use Unicode characters that look like bold or italic letters. Type your text in this tool, copy the style you want and paste it into Instagram. It works in captions, bios, comments, stories and DMs.

Often not well. Screen readers may read each styled letter as a separate symbol, such as 'mathematical bold capital H', or skip it entirely. People who use screen readers may hear nonsense or nothing. Use styled text for a few words, like a heading, and never for your whole caption, your name or important information.

Styled letters are different characters from normal letters, so Instagram search does not treat them as the same words. If you put key words in bold, such as your niche in your name field, people searching for those words may not find you. Keep searchable words in normal text.

Underline and strikethrough are made by adding a combining mark after each letter. Most modern phones show them as a continuous line, but some fonts and older devices place the marks unevenly or show small gaps. Check your post on another device if the look matters.

Unicode only includes styled numbers for some styles. Bold, sans bold and monospace have their own digits, but italic and bold italic do not, so numbers in those styles stay as normal characters.

Yes. Paste it into the 'Back to normal text' box on this page. It swaps styled letters back to regular ones and removes underline and strikethrough marks.
