❓ Frequently Asked Questions

TextForge is a free online tool that converts your regular text into 80+ different Unicode font styles.

No images or special fonts required - just copy and paste the converted text anywhere!

Yes, TextForge is completely free to use with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or premium tiers. All 80+ font styles and features are available to everyone without registration.

Unicode font support depends on the platform and device you're using. Some older systems or apps may not support all Unicode characters. If a font doesn't display correctly, try a different style or use a more modern platform/device.

These are real Unicode text characters, not images or embedded fonts. This means they're searchable, selectable, and work with screen readers. They maintain the functionality of regular text while looking styled.

Fancy fonts typically include decorative styles like bold serif, double-struck, and ornamental characters. Cursive fonts use Unicode's mathematical script characters that resemble handwritten or calligraphy-style lettering. Both are Unicode text, not images.

Special generators apply unique transformations: Glitch text adds random Unicode combining marks for a corrupted effect. Cursed/Zalgo text uses diacritical marks above, below, and through characters. Bubble text uses enclosed alphanumeric Unicode characters. Mirror text reverses your text. Upside-down text uses rotated Unicode equivalents. Wingdings converts text to Wingdings-style symbols.
