For bios, captions and comments
Instagram Fonts: Copy and Paste Fonts for Your Bio and Captions
Copy bold, italic, script and bubble text for an Instagram bio, caption or comment. Tips on where it works, what to check and what to leave in plain text.
Bold
𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞
Heavy serif letters and digits.
Italic
𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑏𝑖𝑜 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒
Slanted serif letters. Numbers stay plain.
Bold italic
𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒊𝒐 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆
Heavy and slanted. Numbers stay plain.
Bold script
𝓨𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓫𝓲𝓸 𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮
Cursive with heavier strokes. Numbers stay plain.
Script (cursive)
𝒴ℴ𝓊𝓇 𝒷𝒾ℴ 𝒽ℯ𝓇ℯ
Cursive, pen-written look. Numbers stay plain.
Gothic (Fraktur)
𝔜𝔬𝔲𝔯 𝔟𝔦𝔬 𝔥𝔢𝔯𝔢
Gothic blackletter. Numbers stay plain.
Double-struck (outline)
𝕐𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕓𝕚𝕠 𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖
Outlined “blackboard” letters.
Sans-serif bold
𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲
Heavy sans-serif letters.
Monospace (typewriter)
𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚋𝚒𝚘 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎
Typewriter look; every letter the same width.
Bubble (circled)
Ⓨⓞⓤⓡ ⓑⓘⓞ ⓗⓔⓡⓔ
Bubble letters in circles, capitals and small.
Small caps
ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙɪᴏ ʜᴇʀᴇ
Small capital letters. Unicode has no small capital X, so x stays plain.
Strikethrough
Y̶o̶u̶r̶ b̶i̶o̶ h̶e̶r̶e̶
A line through every letter, made with a combining mark.
Underline
Y̲o̲u̲r̲ b̲i̲o̲ h̲e̲r̲e̲
A line under every letter, made with a combining mark.
These are Unicode symbols that look like fonts, not real fonts. Screen readers may read them one symbol at a time or skip them, so avoid them for anything important. Some apps, forms and games strip or replace them. Letters that a style has no version of stay plain.
Convert back to normal text
Paste text written in any of these styles. Letters and digits become plain A–Z and 0–9. Frames and decorative symbols you added stay as they are.
Everything runs in your browser. What you type is not uploaded or saved. These styles are Unicode symbols, so how they look depends on the device and app you paste into.
Using a font changer for Instagram
Instagram has no font menu for a bio or a caption, so people paste Unicode letters instead. Type your line here, copy the style you like and paste it in. Use a short, bold or script line for a headline, and leave the rest plain.
Check the bio preview in the app before you save. If a letter turns into a box on one phone, it can do the same for your followers.
Keep what matters in plain text
Styled text is hard for screen readers, and it is not found when someone searches for those words. Put your name, link, location and anything people need to act on in plain letters, and use a style for a short accent such as a title or a divider. Usernames have their own rules and generally will not take styled letters.
Common questions
Is this an official Instagram feature?
No. It is an independent text tool, not affiliated with Instagram. The text is ordinary Unicode that you paste in.
Will styled text hurt my reach?
There is no way to know here. Styled words are not matched to plain words by search, so keep the keywords you want to be found by in plain text.
Which style is most readable?
Bold and sans bold are the clearest. Script is fine for a few words. Gothic and bubble are best for one-word accents.

Discord and Instagram Text Formatting: Markdown vs Unicode Styles
Discord has built-in markdown for bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, headers, spoilers and code. Instagram does not, which is why people use Unicode styles. Compare both and see the caveats.
