Search fields or copies sometimes treat them differently than regular text. ### Hard to read for screen readers To a screen reader, these characters are individual symbols rather than real letters, so they're often read poorly or skipped entirely — use them sparingly, never for whole paragraphs. ### Runs entirely in your browser The formatter processes your text only locally on your device. Nothing is sent to a server or stored — that's also why there's no privacy checkbox to tick here. Who processes the data, on what legal basis, and for how long is explained in our privacy policy under "Free Tools".

Yes. You can use it without signing up, as often as you like. Is my text stored or transmitted? No. Formatting runs entirely locally in your browser, your text never leaves the device. Why does my bold text look different for some people? The styles are Unicode characters, not real text formatting. Very old devices or fonts sometimes fail to render a few characters. Does the formatter work in every language? Yes, it converts Latin letters A–Z, a–z and, depending on the style, digits 0–9\. Accented letters and other special characters stay unchanged. Can I turn styled text back into plain text? Yes, select the styled part and click "Remove styling" — the formatter converts it back to plain text. // compleadly ## Post formatted.
