Discord Text Formatter

Format text for Discord with bold, italic, code, spoilers and more using its markdown.

Discord's formatting syntax

Discord supports a form of markdown for styling messages — bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, code blocks and spoilers — but the syntax is easy to forget. This helps you apply it correctly, so your message comes out styled as intended rather than showing the raw symbols.

Write your text and apply Discord formatting.

The syntax worth knowing

Discord's markers are compact: doubled asterisks for bold, single for italic, doubled underscores for underline, doubled tildes for strikethrough, backticks for inline code and triple backticks for a code block, and doubled vertical bars for a spoiler that stays hidden until clicked. Code blocks are especially handy in Discord for sharing snippets legibly and can even highlight syntax if you name the language. Spoilers are the community-friendly way to hide plot twists or answers. Getting the markers right is the whole trick, and applying them for you removes the guesswork of remembering which symbol does what.

Common questions

How do I make text bold in Discord?

Wrap it in doubled asterisks. Single asterisks give italic, doubled tildes strikethrough, and backticks inline code.

How do spoilers work?

Wrap text in doubled vertical bars, and it stays hidden until a reader clicks to reveal it — handy for plot twists or answers.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The formatting happens in your browser.
