About the Social Media Text Formatter
Write one post and check it against each platform's limit as you type. Keep blank lines in Instagram captions, which otherwise collapse, and set words in Unicode bold or italic for platforms that have no formatting. Styled letters are announced oddly by screen readers, so the formatter flags that as you use it.
How to use it
- Write or paste your post.
- Pick the platforms you post to and watch their limits.
- Style a selection, turn on Keep line breaks, then copy.
Questions
How does bold text work on LinkedIn or X?
These platforms have no formatting. Bold and italic here use Unicode mathematical letters that look bold. They are different characters, so search ignores them and some screen readers read them one by one. Use them for a word or two, not whole sentences.
Why do my Instagram line breaks disappear?
Instagram drops empty lines in captions. Keep line breaks puts an invisible braille blank (U+2800) on each empty line, which Instagram keeps.
Can I undo the styled letters?
Yes. Plain text converts styled letters back to normal ones.
