What Is WhatsApp Text Formatting?

WhatsApp supports four text formatting styles: bold, italic, strikethrough, and monospace. Each style uses special characters wrapped around your text — asterisks for bold, underscores for italic, tildes for strikethrough, and triple backticks for monospace. OPN Chat's Text Formatter makes this easy: select the style you want, type your message, and the tool automatically wraps your text with the correct formatting characters. You get a live WhatsApp-style preview so you can see exactly how your message will look before sending it.

WhatsApp Formatting Codes

Italic _text_ italic text

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I format text in WhatsApp manually?

Wrap your text with special characters: *bold*, _italic_, ~strikethrough~, and ```monospace```. OPN Chat does this automatically so you don't have to remember the codes.

Can I combine multiple formatting styles?

Yes! You can select multiple format buttons at the same time. For example, bold + italic will produce *_bold italic_* which renders as bold and italic simultaneously in WhatsApp.

Does this work in WhatsApp Business?

Yes. WhatsApp formatting codes work identically in WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, WhatsApp Web, and WhatsApp Desktop. They are part of the official WhatsApp protocol.

Is OPN Chat Text Formatter free?

Completely free. No hidden fees, no premium tiers, no ads. Everything runs in your browser with zero data collection.

Will the recipient see the formatting?

Yes, as long as the recipient is using a recent version of WhatsApp, they will see your message with the formatting applied. Older versions may display the raw markers instead.
