Fancy Text Generator
Type once and instantly convert text to bold, italic, script, and more. Everything runs in your browser.
Use this tool from AI agents
This tool's engine is available to AI agents over MCP as fancy_text. Add the Clean.tools server, then your agent can call it directly.

This tool transforms normal characters into Unicode lookalike symbols. That means the output can be copied and pasted into social profiles, bios, chats, and notes while keeping the styled appearance. Styles include bold text, italic text, script, fraktur, and more.
Everything is processed locally in your browser. No uploads, no tracking, and no account required. Works on mobile and desktop in modern browsers. You can also generate the same styled output from scripts or AI agents through the Clean.tools fancy-text API, or by installing the @clean-tools/mcp package from npm.
Note on accessibility: these are Unicode symbols rather than real formatting, so screen readers often read them letter by letter or skip them entirely, which means styled text should be used sparingly where assistive technology matters.
Frequently asked questions
Why do some letters look plain in Script, Fraktur, or Double Struck?
A handful of capital letters in those ranges reuse existing math symbols (for example the script B, E, and H), and the tool substitutes the correct code points for them. If a character still looks unstyled, your font simply lacks a glyph for that symbol and falls back to the plain letter.
Which characters get transformed?
Only A to Z, a to z, and 0 to 9 have styled equivalents. Spaces, punctuation, accented letters, and emoji pass through unchanged, and most styles have no digit variants so numbers stay plain in those cases.
Why does the styled text sometimes not show up when I paste it?
The output is real Unicode, not formatting, so it works in most bios, chats, and captions. Places that strip non-standard characters, such as some form fields, code editors, or legacy systems, may drop or replace the symbols.
Do Squared and Small Caps handle lowercase letters?
Squared uses the same enclosed capital glyphs for both cases, so lowercase input appears uppercase. Small Caps maps lowercase letters to small-capital forms, and a couple of letters (s and x) have no such form so they render as the normal letter.
Can I use this from the command line or an AI agent?
Yes. Send a POST request to the REST endpoint at https://api.clean.tools/v1/fancy_text with your text and style, and it returns the converted output as JSON. The same engine also runs as an MCP server you can add to Claude, Claude Code, or Cursor, and the @clean-tools/mcp package from npm runs it locally as a stdio server for offline or scripted use.
