How to find and use cool Instagram fonts for your bio and posts
When it comes to social media platforms, Instagram leads the pack in terms of creativity. From pop culture GIFs to collage grids, the artistic possibilities are practically endless. So it should come as no surprise that creativity has spread to even the most basic feature of the app: your bio.
Recently, some users have discovered how to get fancy fonts on your Instagram bio. While you’re limited in terms of space — at the time of this writing, Instagram allows up to 150 characters in a bio — new hacks and third-party apps have made being stuck with default fonts a thing of the past.
Interested in learning how to change the font style on Instagram? Read on to learn everything you need to know about IG fonts.
What are the default Instagram fonts?
Unless you’ve made a change to your Instagram bio, it will appear in Instagram’s default font, Neue Helvetica. This font is used for the majority of text within the app, such as captions and comments. However, if you’re an Andriod user, you’ll see your bio in Systems Roboto instead of Neue Helvetica. Headlines and other larger lines of text are in the font Freight Sans.
The only feature that allows you to change your font within the Instagram app itself is Stories. There, you can choose between these nine fonts:
- Classic
- Modern
- Neon
- Typewriter
- Strong
- Drop-Shadow
- Comic Sans
- Serif
- Sans Serif

How to change the font in your Instagram bio
(Image credit: Solen Feyissa via Unsplash)You may be wondering how to change the font in your Instagram bio if you've seen examples of profiles with non-standard fonts on the platform. If you use a different font on Instagram, it can grab attention and make your profile and copy stand out, and it's actually very easy to do. You don't even need to download any special app.
To change the font in your Instagram bio, or indeed in the captions on your Instagram posts, all you need to do is copy the text into one of the many Instagram font generator tools, choose the font you like and paste it in. It's as easy as that, but we'll illustrate the process below.
Instagram remains one of the most popular social media platforms for artists and designers due to its focus on imagery. To make your profile stand out in a crowded marketplace – which you might particularly want to do if you're getting to grips with how to sell on Instagram, an unusual font can help. Just remember that you don't want it to look childish, amateur or cheesy, so do take some time to choose which Instagram font to use. See some more pointers at the bottom of this guide.
Need some inspiration? Check out our list of free fonts to help you decide on the type of font you might like. The odd emoji is also good for breaking things up and adding a bit of personality and colour, but don't go overboard or your bio may become off-putting or hard to read.
With that in mind, read on to find out how to change the font in your Instagram bio. For more Instagram tips, see our guides to how to turn on Instagram's Dark Mode and how to download Instagram photos. And don't forget to follow Creative Bloq on Instagram !
01.
Choose your font
(Image: © Fancy Fonts)
First up, you'll need to open up an online Instagram font generator tool. There are many available on the web, including Insta Fonts , Fancy Fonts and Cool Symbol , but one of our favourites is Meta Tags Font Generator , because it makes it super easy to preview how your font will look live on your Instagram profile.
Type or paste in the text that you want to change into the box that reads 'Edit text'. Below, you'll see a list of fonts that can be used in Instagram, together with previews of how your text would look in each of them. If you're on a desktop computer or tablet, you'll also see a mockup of how your text will look in an Instagram profile on the right.
Meta Tags Font Generator makes it easy to preview your chosen font (Image credit: Meta Tags Font Generator)Some of these fonts are pretty simple; some use emoji and symbols, which may either look creatively inspiring or completely daft; and some will be almost impossible to read.
Once you've found the font that works for you, use the 'Copy' button to copy the text.
02. Paste your text into Instagram

Now open Instagram, click on your profile picture, and click the Edit Profile button. In the form that appears, paste in your text into the appropriate box. Click Submit and you are done.
If you don't like the look of the font you've chosen, you can easily go back to step one and choose another. If you're using an iPhone or iPad and prefer a wider selection of fonts, check out the Fonts – for Instagram app for OS. Note that the same technique should also work to change the font in Instagram captions. Just right click and paste the text into the caption field when you're making an Instagram post.
Things to consider if you change your Instagram font
A crucial thing to remember is that changing the font in your Insta bio involves the use of unicode characters, which are often not accessible for people who use screen readers.
This means you definitely don't want to put your whole bio, or entire captions, in a different font. Most people only change the font for their name, or a small part of the description.
Remember, too, that updating the text itself can have as much impact as changing the font, if not more. The ideal Instagram bio is generally short and sweet: a few snappy words rather than long sentences. Don't forget to include any relevant links to other accounts you manage. To discover other ways to tweak your account and get more from Instagram, see our top Instagram tips.

In Instagram there is no way to choose a text font or add your own. Everything is done through third-party apps and websites.
All of them work by analogy:
- Find a site or application with fonts.
- Writing a text.
- Choose a font.
- Copying a word or phrase.
- Paste into Instagram in the required field (for example, in the field of the name or description of the account). It is done through editing the profile.
Important: most sites and applications work only with the Latin alphabet. And if there is Cyrillic, then there are fewer font options.

Step 5. Open the desired field, for example, bio and paste the copied text there. We save the changes.
Here's what happened:

Conclusion
Adding a fancy font to Instagram is easier than you think. But if you use Instagram to promote your business, choose fonts that match the style of the company. And they read well too.
If you have a serious business, and in the profile text with flowers and unreadable squiggles, on the contrary, this can harm promotion. Perhaps you don’t need an unusual font at all - it’s more important to pay attention to the design of the profile as a whole. Add an avatar, add contacts, write a suitable description, develop your own style for the content.

Why beautiful fonts are needed
To evoke certain feelings
All marketing is aimed at evoking certain emotions in the viewer that encourage a person to buy. Many factors influence a person: design, arrangement of elements, color and, of course, beautiful fonts. Fonts can be different: gothic, fabulous, handwritten — and each type evokes different thoughts and associations.
The main thing is to learn how to use such manipulation correctly.
Attract attention
Something unusual that we see for the first time, we always unconsciously notice and this somehow remains in our memory. That's why your ad can be more effective: just add new and stylish Instagram fonts to it. They don't have to be overly fancy and provocative, just choose something that's different from the standard fonts. In addition, you can experiment with the color palette, font size and position.
Stand out from competitors
Business is endless competition, the desire to be better, more popular. Everyone is chasing recognition on social networks and increasing sales, and for this you need to significantly stand out from the rest. Instagram is a platform where everything is somehow focused on the visual, and therefore typography is also important: the font on Instagram will help you add originality, zest and stand one step ahead of your competitors' accounts.
Upgrade visual
The inscription, if you choose the right color, type and size of the font for it, place it in the right part of the screen, can add beauty to your story.
There are no universal text formatting rules that we could advise you. You can use any combination of colors and fonts, make letters of different sizes, arrange them randomly and use animation. Take your time and find your own style.
How to add a caption in a standard font
If you're still not sure if you should use third-party fonts in your stories, you can experiment with the ones that are already built into Instagram.
Log into the application, click on the profile icon at the bottom of the screen. After that, you need to click on the “+” at the very top and select the history creation mode. Upload photos/videos from the gallery or create them right now.
To see the panel with different fonts, click on the “Aa” icon at the top. Now enter the text and look at the proposed options.
There are quite a few options that can be used. It is possible to add animation (and it is different for each font).
You can make a stroke to the font (each has a different style), change its color to any of the palette.
To see all the options, you need to swipe left and right: then Instagram will change the font and you can choose the one that suits you best.

Then write the text that you will use in your story. Make sure it's not too long.
When you're ready, go to the website and follow the short instructions below.

There are more English fonts than Russian fonts on the site, because most of the characters in Unicode are English.
If you like the font, but it is not in Russian, you can make words from English letters that are identical to Russian. For example: 𝙼𝙴𝙲𝚃𝙾, ᴘᴏᴄᴀ, 𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐏, 𝓜𝓞𝓟𝓔.
For ease of editing, we have added "step back" and "step forward" buttons. Thus, at any time you can return accidentally erased text, and you do not have to type it again.
If text characters or emoji are displayed as empty squares ☐☐☐, then your device or browser does not support them. Try to log in from another device, preferably from a mobile device (iOS, Android).
