Using this generator, you can edit your text and preview different font styles for Instagram. While social networks limit your styling options in profiles, posts, and comments, you can use this tool to create fancy text or pick cool fonts.

If you’ve ever seen profiles with cursive text or bold fonts and wondered how that’s possible, it’s a secret little trick using something called Unicode. While you’re not actually copying a font, Unicode allows us to create pseudo-fonts made up of special characters that look similar to our regular alphabet.

Wait, but why can’t I just copy fonts from my computer ?? Social networks don’t allow you to add styling to your text, so instead we “hack” Unicode to build a special dictionary which replaces each letter—it’s really a font changer and not actually a generator.
