How it works
-
Type or paste your words
Every style updates as you type, so you can compare them side by side.
-
Choose a style and copy it
Star the ones you use most. They stay on this device for next time.
-
Paste it anywhere
The styled letters are real Unicode characters, not a font, so X, LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp and Slack show them as they are.
Fancy letters are not fancy for everyone.
People who use screen readers hear styled letters very differently. A bold “Hi” can be read out as “mathematical sans-serif bold capital H, mathematical sans-serif bold small i”. Some styles are borrowed from other alphabets and come out as nonsense.
That is why every style here is marked. Use the ones marked Spelled out for a few words of emphasis, keep names, dates and links in plain text, and avoid Garbled styles for anything people must read.
- Readable
- Strikethrough, underline and clapback. The letters stay normal letters.
- Spelled out
- Bold, italic, script and most others. Read letter by letter.
- Garbled
- Small caps, superscript and upside-down. Read as unrelated symbols.
