FAQ

Discord formatting, explained

How do I format text in Discord?+

Discord uses a lightweight Markdown. Wrap text in **double asterisks** for bold, *single asterisks* or _underscores_ for italic, __double underscores__ for underline, and ~~tildes~~ for strikethrough. Use `backticks` for inline code and triple backticks for a code block. This tool lets you select text and click a button to add the markers for you, with a live preview of how Discord will render the result.

How do I make a spoiler or colored text?+

Wrap anything in double pipes to hide it as a spoiler: ||like this||. In the preview here, click the black box to reveal it. Colored text is not part of normal Discord Markdown. The usual trick is an "ansi" code block (```ansi) with ANSI escape codes, which only works on desktop. This previewer focuses on the standard formatting you can use in any message.

What is Discord markdown?+

Discord markdown is the set of formatting shortcuts Discord supports in messages: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, spoilers, headers, quotes, lists, inline code, code blocks and masked links. It is based on Markdown but with a few Discord-specific rules, such as __underline__ and ||spoiler|| syntax. This tool previews text using those rules so what you see is close to what Discord shows.

Do masked links work everywhere in Discord?+

Masked links written as [label](https://url) only render as clickable text inside embeds (for example from bots or webhooks). In a normal message you send yourself, Discord shows the raw [label](url) text instead. This previewer renders them as links anyway so you can check the label and destination before you use them in an embed.

Is it free?+

Yes. This previewer is completely free, needs no login or account, and runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is ever uploaded anywhere.
