Accessibility: these letters are Unicode symbols, read badly by screen readers and ignored by search. Use them for a few key words, not for a whole post.

How to use this calculator?

1. Type or paste your text in the box
2. Pick a style from the previews: bold, italic, strikethroughโ€ฆ
3. Click "Copy" next to the style you want
4. Paste it into your Instagram, LinkedIn, X or Facebook post, or your bio

Quick answer

How do you write in bold on Instagram or LinkedIn?

These networks have no bold button: type your text into the generator, copy the "Bold" style and paste it into your post. For example, "New product" becomes "๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜". They are Unicode characters, so keep them to a few words: screen readers read them badly.

About the Bold Text Generator

What is it?

This generator turns your text into styled Unicode characters: bold, italic, bold italic, script, gothic, double-struck, typewriter, small caps, bubbles, strikethrough and underline. You can copy and paste the result anywhere rich text is not available.

Why use it?

Instagram, LinkedIn, X and Facebook have no bold button for posts, comments or bios. Bolding a headline, a hook or a call to action catches the eye in the feed and gives structure to a long post.

How does it work?

Each letter is replaced by its equivalent in the Unicode Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block (for example "A" becomes ๐—”, U+1D5D4). Accented letters are decomposed: the base letter gets the style and the accent is added as a combining mark. Strikethrough and underline use combining lines (U+0336 and U+0332). Nothing is sent to a server.

Usage tips

  • Bold the first line of your LinkedIn post: it is what people see before "see more"
  • Keep it to a few words: a whole post in styled characters is tiring to read
  • Accessibility: screen readers spell these symbols out or read them badly, so avoid them for key information
  • Platform search does not match these characters, so never use them in hashtags
  • Check how it looks on mobile: some older phones show boxes for a few styles
