What works where on TikTok
- Name: fancy text and symbols work. Keep a plain version of your name in it if you want people to find you.
- Username (@handle): plain letters, numbers, underscores and periods only.
- Bio and captions: fancy text works. Bios are short, and some apps count each fancy letter as two characters, so you may hit the limit sooner than you expect.
- Text on videos: TikTok's own in-video text styles are real fonts. Use those inside the video, and fancy text in places with no style options.
Questions
- How do I get a cool font in my TikTok name?
- Type your name above, copy a style you like, and paste it into Edit profile → Name.
- Why did my bio run out of space early?
- Many fancy letters are stored as two units of text, and some counters count them twice.
