At a glance. 28styles that keep à, è, é, ì, ò and ù, plus a fixer for e' and the caporali « ». Everything runs in your browser, so your text is never uploaded. Styled text is for names, bios and captions. It is not a way to make a username that search can find.

How to use the Italian font generator

Most fancy text generators only style the letters A to Z, so Italian words come out half styled or with the accent gone: the à in città or the è in perché è stays plain or breaks. This one styles the base letter, attaches the accent, and tells you on every result what happened.

  1. 1

    Type or paste

    Write your text, or tap à, è, é, ì, ò, ù and the caporali « » in the toolbar above the box. Typed e' for è? Press Fix apostrophes.

  2. 2

    Pick the accent mode

    Styled, plain, or removed. Plain is the safest if an accent looks off on your device.

  3. 3

    Copy a style

    Press Copy on the row you like. Star the ones you will use again.

  4. 4

    Paste and check

    Paste into your app and look at it once before you publish. Need Italian words? Press Translate first.

Italian accents in each style

Italian has six accented vowels. Unicode has bold, italic, script and similar letters only for the plain Latin letters A to Z, with nothing for à, è, é, ì, ò or ù, so to keep the accent the generator styles the base letter and adds it as a combining mark. The ª and º signs, the € sign and the caporali have no styled form, so they stay as typed.

Italian accented letters, their accent and examples
LetterCapitalAccentExamples
àÀGravecittà, là
èÈGraveè (is) and e (and)
éÉAcuteperché, né, sé
ìÌGravelì, così
òÒGraveperò, ciò
ùÙGravepiù, giù

The accent decides the word, so it is worth keeping. The Accademia della Crusca (opens in a new tab) lists these pairs, among others:

Italian words that differ only by an accent
With accentWithoutMeaning
èeè is the verb (È stanca), e is and
dàdadà is gives, da is from
nénené is nor, ne is of it
sésesé is oneself, se is if
lìlilì is there, li is them
làlalà is there, la is the
sìsisì is yes, si is a pronoun
tètetè is the drink, te is you

The acute accent goes on a closed final e. The same source lists perché, poiché, affinché, benché, finché, né, sé, ventitré, poté and the other compounds of tre as the common cases. Everything else here takes the grave. That is why the picker has é as its own key, and why a styled é keeps its acute mark instead of turning into è. In capitals the rule is unchanged: PERCHÉ, È.

How accents behave by option
OptionWhat happens
Styled accentsBase letter styled, accent attached as a combining mark
Plain accentsNormal à, è, é, ì, ò and ù, the safest choice if an accent looks shifted
Remove accentsAccent dropped, bare letter styled. è becomes e, so check the meaning
Bubble, squared, parenthesized and fullwidthThese alphabets cannot carry an accent, so accented letters stay plain

Test on your phone first. Marks are drawn by each device and app. The quick check above the styles shows you how your device draws the accent, and switches to Plain accents if it looks off. We have tested this in Chrome on Windows only, so paste a short sample into Instagram or Discord before you publish.

Styled text or a real Italian font

The rows on the Styles tab are the Unicode mathematical alphabets (opens in a new tab). They look like a font when pasted, but they are symbols, not a font, and they cover only A to Z. That is why the accents are attached afterwards. They are the right choice for a bio or a chat, because you can paste them as text.

If you want a calligraphic or classical look with every Italian letter drawn properly, use the Real fonts tab. For the Italianno typeface itself, see our Italianno font page. For wider looks, see the Cursive Font Generator, the Gothic Font Generator and the Fraktur Font Generator, or browse all tools. They style English text. This page is the one to use when your words have à, è, é, ì, ò or ù. If you write German as well, the German Font Generator does the same for ä, ö, ü and ß.

What works where

Rules differ by app and change over time, so each row says how sure we are. Where an app publishes no rule, we say so instead of guessing.

Where styled Italian text works, with sources
WhereWhat to expectHow sure
Instagram @usernameLetters, numbers, periods and underscores only, up to 30 characters. Styled letters are unlikely to be accepted. We have not tested accented letters, so try them in the app.Reported by The Verge (opens in a new tab). Not verified on Instagram's own help page.
Display names, bios, captionsUsually fine to paste. Length counters can treat styled letters differently, so use the length check and test.Not verified in each app. Test before you publish.
WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTokWe found no published rule about styled text on these, so we cannot say what they accept.Not verified. Paste a short sample and look at it.
SearchStyled letters are different Unicode characters from plain ones, so a search for the plain word may not find them.Not verified in each app. Keep key words in plain text.
Screen readersMay read styled letters one by one, for example “mathematical bold small e”.Depends on the screen reader and its settings. We have not tested any, so keep important text plain.

The length check offers Instagram bio 150, TikTok bio 80, X bio 160 and Discord display name 32, or your own number. Instagram's help page (opens in a new tab) and Discord's help page (opens in a new tab) state their figures. The TikTok and X figures match what current guides quote from those apps' help centres, but we have not read those pages ourselves. Neither app says how it counts styled letters, so treat every limit as a guide and test. You can count visible characters or UTF-16 units. Styled letters take two UTF-16 units each, and an attached accent adds one more, so a styled è counts as three.

Typing à, è, é, ì, ò and ù without an Italian keyboard

On most keyboards an accent is a dead key: you press it, nothing appears, and then you press the letter it goes on. On the Windows US-International layout, the grave key and then a vowel gives à è ì ò ù, and the apostrophe key and then e gives é, as this layout guide (opens in a new tab) lists. On a Mac, dead keys work the same way (opens in a new tab): Option-` for the grave and Option-E for the acute. An Italian keyboard has its own keys for the lowercase letters, but the Windows Italian layout has none for the capitals, which is why people type E' for È (opens in a new tab).

  • In this tool: the toolbar above the text box has a key for every Italian letter, with an Aa switch for capitals. The Fix apostrophes button turns e' into è and perche' into perché. The Typing guide tab has the same fixer in a larger box.
  • On your device: the Typing guide tab lists the keys for Windows, Office and a Mac. In Word and Outlook, Microsoft lists Ctrl shortcuts for each accent (opens in a new tab), and its Alt code table (opens in a new tab) covers the capitals. On a phone, touch and hold a vowel. Which options appear depends on the keyboard language.

Real fonts that support Italian

If you want graphics instead of copy-and-paste text, the Real fonts tab renders your words in 12 open-licence fonts and exports a PNG in square, story or banner size. Each font file was checked glyph by glyph for à, è, é, ì, ò, ù, their capitals, the caporali « », ª, º and €. The tab also gives you CSS you can paste into your own site. All of them use the SIL Open Font License, and each link opens its Google Fonts page.

Caporali and other quotation marks

The toolbar above the text box has « » “ ” ’ so you can type them, and two styles wrap your text in a pair. Italian text uses the caporali « » and also the curly quotes “ ”. Which pair is right depends on the publisher and the style guide you follow, so the tool does not pick one for you. The fonts in the Real fonts tab were checked for all of them. The same toolbar has ª, º and € for ordinals and prices.

Private by design

Styling, translation, apostrophe fixing and image export all run in your browser. Your text is not uploaded or stored on a server. Favorites, recently copied styles and your option choices stay in your own browser storage, and Clear removes your text.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Italian font generator?

An Italian font generator turns your text into stylish Unicode text (bold, script, italic and more) that you can copy and paste into Instagram, Discord, TikTok and messages. This one is built for Italian, so it keeps à, è, é, ì, ò and ù and tells you on every row what happened to the accent.

Is this the same as an italic font generator?

No. Italic is a slanted style, Italian is a language. The list here includes Italic and Bold Italic rows because people often want them, but the point of this page is to keep Italian letters correct. For a page about italic text alone, see the Italic Text Generator.

Why do accents break in most fancy text generators?

Unicode defines its bold, italic, script and similar letters for the plain Latin letters A to Z. It has no styled à, è, é, ì, ò or ù. A generator that only swaps letters leaves each accented letter plain, or loses the accent. This tool styles the base letter and attaches the accent as a separate mark, so the accent follows the style where the alphabet can carry it.

What do Styled accents, Plain accents and Remove accents mean?

Styled accents attach the accent to the styled letter. Plain accents keep every accented letter as normal text, the safest choice on any app. Remove accents drops the accent and styles the bare letter, so è becomes e. That can change the meaning: è (is) and e (and) are different words, as are né and ne. Each result shows a badge so you can see which one happened.

What is the difference between è and é?

è has a grave accent and é an acute one. In Italian the acute accent goes on a closed final e, in words such as perché, poiché, affinché, né, sé and ventitré, and the grave accent on the open e, as in è, caffè and tè. The picker keeps both apart: a styled é keeps its acute mark and a styled è its grave one.

Is it wrong to write E' instead of È?

In careful writing, yes. Writing E' with an apostrophe began as a workaround when keyboards had no key for the capital, and Italian writing guides treat it as a mistake. Press Fix apostrophes under the text box to turn e' into è and perche' into perché. The fixer works from spelling only, so read the result once.

Which words does Fix apostrophes leave alone?

Words where the apostrophe is correct spelling: po', be', mo', to' and the imperatives da', di', fa', sta' and va'. It also leaves elisions such as l'amore and c'era, and words inside single quotes. It cannot read meaning, so a word like di' (say) is never turned into dì (day).

Is the Italian here a real Italian font?

No. The script and bold rows are Unicode letters, which look like a font when pasted but are symbols. They work anywhere you can paste text. For invitations, logos and websites, use the Real fonts tab, which draws your text in open-licence fonts such as Cormorant Garamond, Cinzel and Italianno and exports a PNG.

Will the accents look right on my phone or in Instagram?

The accent is a separate combining mark that each device and app places with its own font, so spacing can differ. The quick check above the styles shows how your device draws it and switches to Plain accents if it looks off. Paste a sample into your app first. We tested this in Chrome on Windows only.

Why do some styles show boxes or loose marks?

Your device has no glyph for that style's letters or for the combining mark. The tool compares the styled letters with the box a missing glyph draws and adds a "May show boxes here" badge when they match. This is a best-effort check on the base letters only, so a clean result is not a guarantee. Plain accents always work.

Can this tool translate English to Italian?

Yes. Press Translate to turn English into Italian or Italian into English. Translation runs on your device: it uses your browser's built-in translator when it supports the pair (Chrome on desktop lists Italian as supported and downloads a language pack the first time) and a built-in dictionary otherwise. The dictionary is small, about 121 words and phrases. It does not handle genders, plurals, elisions or verb forms, and a native speaker has not reviewed it. Check anything important.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. Styling, translation, apostrophe fixing and image export all run in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded.

How do I type à, è, é, ì, ò and ù without an Italian keyboard?

Tap the letters in the toolbar above the text box, or use the Typing guide tab. On Windows, add the US-International layout: the grave key then a vowel gives à è ì ò ù, and the apostrophe key then e gives é. On a Mac, press Option-` and then the vowel, or Option-E and then e for é. On a phone, touch and hold a vowel.

What is the Real fonts (image) tab for?

It renders your text in 12 open-licence fonts that were checked for à è é ì ò ù, their capitals, the caporali « », ª, º and €, so every letter looks exactly right, then lets you download a PNG for posters, stories and invitations. It also gives you the CSS to use the same font on your own site. An image cannot be pasted into a bio or chat as text, so use the Styles tab for that.

Can screen readers read this styled text?

Screen readers may read styled Unicode letters one by one (for example "mathematical bold small e"). Use styled text for short names, bios and headings, and keep important information in normal text. The Copy plain text button copies exactly what you typed.

Can I use styled Italian text in my Instagram username?

Probably not. The Verge reports that Instagram usernames can be up to 30 characters and contain only letters, numbers, periods and underscores. Styled letters are not ordinary letters, so expect them to be refused. We could not find that rule on Instagram's own help pages, and we have not tested whether accented letters are accepted, so try it in the app. Display names, bios and captions are the better place for styled text.

Will people find me if I use styled text?

Possibly not. Styled letters are different Unicode characters from plain ones, so a search for the plain word may not match them. We have not tested this on every app. If being found matters, keep the key words in plain text.

Looking for the italic style itself? Try the Italic Text Generator.
