How to use Discord Text Formatter

Discord uses a Markdown variant for formatting: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, inline code, code blocks, quotes and lists. But to write in color you must use an “ANSI” code block with escape codes — few people know this. This tool lets you apply each style in one click, pick text and background colors, and see a preview that mirrors how Discord renders it. Then copy the result, ready to paste into chat.

Bold, ANSI colors… with a Discord preview.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write colored text on Discord?

Discord only colors text inside a ```ansi code block with ANSI escape codes. The tool generates them for you; paste the block as-is.

Do colors work on mobile?

ANSI blocks render in color on Discord desktop and web; the mobile client may show them as plain text depending on the version.
