Facebook Text Formatter — bold and italic in posts

Format Facebook posts with bold, italic and special Unicode text. Free and copy instantly.

Not real bold: these are Unicode characters that work anywhere you can paste text. Screen readers struggle with them, so use them sparingly.

How it works

  1. 1

    Enter your text

    Type the text you want to format. Everything else happens instantly — nothing to click.

  2. 2

    Pick a style

    You see your text in every style right away: bold, italic, script, outline, small caps and more. Choose whatever fits your Facebook look.

  3. 3

    Copy and paste

    One click on "Copy", then paste into Facebook. The formatting survives because these are real characters — no plugin or app needed.

Popular use cases

  • Profile optimisation

    A bio that stands out

    Highlight your name, your offer or your call-to-action. In a field with no formatting options, this is the only way to add emphasis.

  • Content creators

    Structure your posts

    Set subheadings in bold so longer captions become skimmable instead of overwhelming as a block of text.

  • Announcements

    Emphasise what matters

    Price, date or discount code catch the eye immediately when they stand apart from the running text.

  • E-commerce

    Structure product info

    Separate product name, price and details visually — even where the platform gives you no real formatting.

  • Personal style

    Your own aesthetic

    Script and small caps give your profile a signature look that stays recognisable in the feed.

  • Lists & guides

    Highlight the steps

    Mark step headings so readers instantly see where the next point begins.

Facebook allows no formatting in posts. With Unicode characters you can still add emphasis — for headings in longer posts or announcements in groups.

Space is plentiful on Facebook: up to 63,206 characters per post. That makes structure all the more important, because the feed truncates with "See more" after around 477 characters.

A bold opening line helps catch the eye before the rest disappears behind the click.

Yes, anywhere you can type or paste text.

When does my post get truncated?

In the feed after around 477 characters — beyond that it takes a click on "See more".
