How to use this tool

4 steps · ~30 seconds

Each step is a single action — no setup, no sign-up. Outputs are client-side; nothing is uploaded.

Step 01

Type your message

Paste or type the Discord message you want to format. The counter under the textarea tracks the 2,000 (free) and 4,000 (Nitro) char limits.

Step 02

Highlight the words to wrap

Drag-select inside the textarea the same way you would in any text editor.

Step 03

Click a toolbar button

B for bold (**), I for italic (*), S for strikethrough (~~), Spoiler for ||hidden||. The button wraps your selection with the matching Discord token.

Step 04

Copy and paste into Discord

Click Copy formatted text. Paste into any text channel, DM, or thread. The live preview is what Discord will render.

FAQ · methodology & caveats

Frequently asked.

Calculator outputs are estimates. Each Q below names the source data and the assumptions baked in.

How do I make text bold in Discord?

Wrap the text in two asterisks on each side: **bold text** renders as bold. Italic uses one asterisk (*italic*) or one underscore (_italic_). Bold-italic combines them: ***both***.

What is the strikethrough syntax in Discord?

Two tildes on each side: ~~text~~. The closing pair must sit on the same line as the opening pair — line breaks reset the formatter.

How do I post a spoiler tag in Discord?

Wrap the secret content in two pipes on each side: ||hidden text||. Discord renders the block as a black bar that reveals on click. Spoilers work in messages, embeds, and forum posts.

What is the limit on Discord message length?

Free accounts cap at 2,000 characters per message. Nitro accounts get 4,000. Discord profile bios cap at 190 characters and do not support headers, blockquotes, or code blocks.

What is "small text" on Discord?

Discord does not natively support a small-text format. The "small text" you see in popular posts is actually a Unicode small-caps alphabet — letters like ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇ that exist as separate codepoints. The Fancy text tab here emits 8 Unicode alphabets.

Will Unicode fancy text work in my Discord username?

Mostly no. Discord blocks decorative Unicode in usernames as part of impersonation prevention. Fancy text always works in messages, embeds, channel topics, forum titles, and bios.
