How to send colored text on Discord

Select a word or line in your message, then choose a text color or background. For a gradient, pick two colors, choose text or background, and press Apply gradient. Add bold or underline for extra emphasis. Use Copy for Discord and paste the result into a regular Discord message—the ANSI code fence is included.

Do I need Nitro?

No. ANSI messages work without Nitro. The counter includes the formatting codes, so your message stays within Discord’s standard 2,000-character limit.

Can I use it on mobile or in my bio?

You can create messages on any device, but Discord’s mobile apps may display the text without colors. ANSI formatting is for code blocks in messages; it does not color usernames, bios, or role names. Backticks are converted to lookalike characters so they cannot break the message’s code block.

Your message is formatted locally in your browser. Inspired by Rebane’s colored text generator.
