How do I get custom fonts on Snapchat?

Snapchat does not have a built-in font library for display names. Use our generator to type your text, browse the Unicode font styles, and copy your favourite. Then paste it into your Snapchat display name or snap caption. These are Unicode characters, not actual fonts, so they work anywhere text is accepted.

Where do fancy fonts work in Snapchat?

Unicode fonts work in your Snapchat display name, snap captions (text tool), chat messages, and story text. They do NOT work in your Snapchat username, which is restricted to basic ASCII characters. Display names are the most popular place to use styled text.

Can I use these fonts in Snapchat stories?

Yes! When adding text to a Snapchat story, you can paste Unicode styled text from our generator. It will appear in the styled font alongside Snapchat's own built-in font options. This gives you many more style choices than Snapchat's default fonts.

Where Fancy Fonts Work in Snapchat

Display Name

Works great

Your display name supports Unicode fonts and special characters. This is the most popular place to use fancy text on Snapchat.

Snap Captions

Works great

Text added to snaps via the text tool supports pasted Unicode fonts. Combine with Snapchat's built-in fonts for unique styles.

Chat Messages

Works great

Send styled text in Snapchat chats and group conversations. Unicode characters display correctly for all recipients.

Stories

Works great

Add Unicode styled text to your Snapchat stories for a unique look that stands out from default Snapchat fonts.

Username

Does not work

Snapchat usernames only support basic letters, numbers, periods, hyphens, and underscores. No Unicode fonts.

Spotlight

Limited

Spotlight captions support some Unicode characters. More complex font styles may not render correctly in all cases.

Snapchat Font Tips

Bold and Script fonts are the most popular for Snapchat display names
You can change your Snapchat display name at any time in Settings

For snap captions, keep styled text short for readability
