Fonts for Instagram

The styles below are the ones that actually hold up on Instagram. Type your text and tap to copy.

• Fancy Unicode works in your bio, captions, comments and Notes. The name field accepts it too, but Instagram search matches plain text, so a styled name is harder to find.
• Stories text uses Instagram's own fonts; paste styled text there and it keeps the Unicode style instead.
• Screen readers read these characters letter by letter with long Unicode names, so keep styled runs short in captions.

Frequently asked questions

Do fancy fonts work on Instagram?

Fancy Unicode works in your bio, captions, comments and Notes. The name field accepts it too, but Instagram search matches plain text, so a styled name is harder to find.

Will everyone see my styled text the same way?

Almost everyone. These are standard Unicode characters, so modern phones and browsers show them. Very old devices can show boxes for the rarer styles; the classics (bold, cursive, bubble) are safe.
