How to use italics on Instagram

Instagram has no formatting options in captions, bios, or comments. Type your text here, select a word or line, and press I for italic or B for bold. Copy the caption and paste it into Instagram.

Keep blank lines is on by default, so the paragraph breaks in your caption survive the paste as well.

Styling your Instagram bio

A bold name or a bold line that says what you do helps a bio stand out on a profile. Keep the keywords people search for, like your profession or city, in plain text so Instagram search can still match them.

Questions

Good to know.

What is the Instagram caption limit?

Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters. The counter shows how much of that your formatted caption uses.

Is this real bold text or a font?

Neither, exactly. Social apps do not support rich text in posts, so the tool swaps each letter for a look-alike Unicode character, such as 𝗕 for B. Because they are characters rather than styling, they stay bold or italic wherever you paste them.

Can screen readers read Unicode bold text?

Not reliably. Some screen readers spell styled letters out one by one or skip them. Use bold and italic for a few words of emphasis, and keep the important information in plain text.

Does styled text show up in search?

Usually not. Search on most platforms matches plain letters, so a styled word may not be found when someone searches for it. Keep names, keywords, and hashtags in plain text.
