Instagram fonts
Type your bio or caption once and copy it in whichever style you want. It pastes into Instagram as ordinary text, because that is what it is: Unicode characters, not a font.
Read this before you style a whole bio
These are not letters wearing a font. Each one is a different Unicode character that happens to look like a letter, so a screen reader announces it wrongly, letter by letter, or skips it entirely. Search does not match it against the plain word either. A person using a screen reader may hear your styled name as a run of noise, and someone searching for you may not find you.
The safe way to use this is sparingly: one styled word for emphasis, with your name, your handle and anything a reader needs to understand or find you left as ordinary text. A fully styled bio is a bio some people cannot read.
We have not tested how Instagram handles any of these characters, and we will not tell you a style is safe there. Support can differ between the iOS app, the Android app and the web, and between a bio, a caption and a comment. Paste it into the real field, look at it, and save only if it came out right.
Styled as you type, in this tab. There is no request carrying it anywhere, nothing is stored and nothing about what you type is measured.
Every style, from what you typed
Showing sample text until you type. Copy any row with the button under it.
Bold
The mathematical bold serif alphabet. Letters and digits both.
Italic
The mathematical italic serif alphabet. Digits stay as typed, because the block has none.
Bold italic
The mathematical bold italic serif alphabet. Letters only.
Script
The mathematical script alphabet, the closest thing Unicode has to handwriting. Letters only.
Bold script
The heavier weight of the same script alphabet. Letters only.
Fraktur
The blackletter alphabet Unicode carries for mathematics. Letters only, and it is text rather than a gothic font file.
Outline
The double-struck alphabet, the one used for number sets in mathematics. Letters and digits.
Sans bold
The bold weight of the sans-serif alphabet. Letters and digits.
Sans italic
The sloped sans-serif alphabet. Letters only.
Monospace
The fixed-width alphabet. Every character occupies the same advance width.
Small caps
Phonetic small capital letters. Unicode has no small capital X, so an x stays lower case rather than being faked with something else.
Circled
Letters and digits inside circles, from the enclosed alphanumerics block.
Squared
Letters inside squares. The block has capitals only, so lower case is raised to capitals first.
Wide
The fullwidth forms, sized for the square grid CJK text is set on. Spaces widen too.
Strikethrough
Your own letters, each followed by a combining long stroke. The line is drawn by the mark, so it can render unevenly.
Underline
Your own letters, each followed by a combining low line. Same caveat: the line comes from the mark, not from the font.
Why a bio can be styled at all
Instagram gives you no formatting controls in a bio or a caption, so every styled bio you have seen was made this way: the letters were swapped for Unicode look-alikes before being pasted in. Nothing is installed and nothing is added to your account.
Keep your name and your handle as plain letters. They are what somebody types when they search for you, and a styled version of them is a different string as far as any search is concerned.
זה פועל בדפדפן שלך
כל מה שאתה כותב נשאר בדף הזה. אין בקשה לשרת, אין אחסון ואין אירוע אנליטיקה שנושא את הטקסט שלך.
הכלים האלה לא מפרסמים כלום. אף מחבר עדיין לא השלים אימות ספק, כך ששום דבר כאן לא מחבר חשבון.
שאלות
How do I put a styled font in my Instagram bio?
Type the text above, copy the style you want, then paste it into the bio field in Edit profile and save. If the characters come back as plain letters, or as empty boxes, that field or that app version did not accept them, and the plain version is the one to keep.
Is this a font I can download?
No. There is no font file here and nothing to install. This swaps each letter for a different Unicode character that looks like a styled version of it, which is why the result can be pasted into a bio or a caption that has no formatting controls. If you need an actual typeface file, you need a type foundry or a font library, not this page.
Will a screen reader read this?
Badly, or not at all. A screen reader reads the character it is given, and these characters are not the letters they resemble, so they are announced wrongly or skipped. The same goes for search and for anything that matches text. Use one styled word where it earns its place, and leave your name, your handle and the words a reader needs as ordinary text.
Will these show up correctly everywhere?
We cannot promise that, and we have measured none of it. Whether a style survives depends on the platform, the app version and the device font, and any of the three can change without notice. Paste it where you plan to use it, look at it on a phone as well as a desktop, and keep the plain version if it comes out wrong.
האם הטיוטה שלי מועלית?
לא. הבדיקה פועלת בדפדפן שלך. אין בקשה שנושאת את הטקסט שלך, שום דבר לא נשמר, וסגירת הלשונית מספיקה כדי למחוק אותה.
