What This Tool Does
The Pinterest Text Formatter styles words in pin descriptions, board descriptions and your profile as bold, italic, underlined, crossed out or monospace Unicode letters, and builds bullet or numbered lists for steps and product details.
A styled letter is a different character from a plain one. Keep the words you want people to find in plain text and style only a label or a short heading.

Why Text Formatting Matters
Pinterest is mostly visual, but a description that is easy to scan helps people understand the pin.
- Bold a short label such as Ingredients or Steps rather than the keywords themselves.
- Numbered lists suit instructions, and bullets suit product features.
- Styled words may not match searches, so keep keywords plain.
- Screen readers may read styled letters one by one or skip them.
- Some devices show boxes for symbols their fonts lack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does styled text show on Pinterest?
It usually displays, since the letters are Unicode symbols, but how they look depends on the device. Check the pin on your phone after saving it.
Will styling affect how my pin is found?
It may. Styled letters are different characters from plain ones, so a styled keyword may not match a search. Keep keywords in plain text.
Can I use bullet points in pin descriptions?
Yes. The Bullets button adds a bullet symbol to the start of each line, which pastes as ordinary text.
How long can a pin description be?
Pinterest's pin spec page lists up to 800 characters for a description and 100 for a title. The bulk upload guide still lists 500 for a description. You can check a pin description and title against both limits as you write, and styled letters count toward them too.
Is this tool free?
