Frequently asked questions
How do I make text bold in Discord?
Wrap the text in two asterisks on each side: **bold text**. Discord renders it as bold automatically. You can also use this tool — paste your text, click the Bold button, and copy the result.
How do I strikethrough text in Discord?
Wrap the text in two tildes on each side: ~~strikethrough text~~. Renders as text with a line through it. Useful for crossing out outdated info or showing edits.
How do I make a spoiler in Discord?
Wrap the text in two pipes: ||spoiler text||. The text appears as a black bar that members click to reveal. Useful for plot twists, NSFW warnings, and answers in trivia channels.
Can I combine bold and italic?
Yes. ***bold italic*** uses three asterisks. You can also nest formats: **__bold and underlined__** or ***__bold italic and underlined__***. Discord parses them all.
What's "fancy text" — does Discord actually support custom fonts?
Discord doesn't support custom fonts directly, but you can use Unicode characters that look like fancy fonts (𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈). These work in usernames, server names, bios, channel names, and messages — anywhere Discord accepts text. They look identical across desktop, mobile, and web because they're standard Unicode characters, not custom fonts.
Why doesn't my fancy text show up the same on mobile?
Some Unicode font ranges aren't in the default mobile system fonts and fall back to a default style. The fonts in this tool are widely supported (Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block) and work on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS — but very fancy decorative fonts you might find on other generators may render differently.
How do I make a code block in Discord?
Single-line: wrap in single backticks `like this`. Multi-line: use three backticks ```...```. For syntax highlighting, add the language right after the opening backticks (e.g., ```js for JavaScript). The language is just for color — Discord still treats the contents as text.
