Pinterest Font Generator

Quick answer: Pinterest has no font setting, so a "Pinterest font generator" does something else: it swaps your letters for other characters that look like styled letters. 𝐁 is not a bold B, it is U+1D401 MATHEMATICAL BOLD CAPITAL B, a separate character, which is why it survives a copy and paste. Unicode, the standard those characters come from, says the mathematical ones are intended for use only in mathematical or technical notation, and not in nontechnical text. Pinterest doesn't say whether its search reads them as your words, and screen readers may struggle with them. So use them to decorate a bio, and keep names, board names and pin titles in plain letters. Type your words above: each style shows what it really is.

How to use it

1. Type your words, or paste a bio or board name you decorated before.
2. Pick where they will go: your bio, your profile name, a board name, a pin title or a description. The advice under the answer changes with it.
3. Copy a style. The label beside each one says whether Unicode folds it back to your letters.
4. Pasted fancy letters? The box above the styles gives you the same words in plain letters, to copy back into Pinterest.

Do fancy fonts hurt your Pinterest SEO?

Pinterest doesn't say. None of its help, business or developer pages we searched mentions these letters, so nobody outside Pinterest can tell you how its search treats them, and we won't guess. What we can show you is what the letters are:

• Most of them fold back. Unicode files bold, italic, script, gothic, outline, typewriter, wide, bubble and square letters as variants of the plain ones. Its compatibility folding (NFKC) turns 𝓗𝓸𝓶𝓮 into "Home" again. A search that applies it reads your words. A search that doesn't sees different characters.
• Two never fold back. Small caps are separate letters, mostly borrowed from phonetic alphabets (ᴄ is LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL C), and dark bubbles are symbols. No Unicode folding turns them into your letters.
• So keep what people search for in plain letters. A board name or a pin title is a search phrase. A bio has room for a decorated word next to a plain sentence about what you make.

What a screen reader does with fancy letters

People who use a screen reader hear a page instead of seeing it, and a fancy letter isn't a letter to the reader. Section508.gov, the US government's accessibility guidance, puts it plainly: …screen readers may struggle to properly identify special characters, so it is best to avoid using them in social media posts. Some readers skip the characters, some spell out their names one by one, and each style above shows the name Unicode gives its first letter. That is one more reason to keep a board name plain.

Where fancy letters are fine

In a bio, one or two decorated words next to plain sentences say who you are and still read well. Our guide to Pinterest bios covers what those sentences should do. For the fields people search, start from plain words: the board name generator suggests keyword-first board names, the username generator checks a handle against Pinterest's own rules, and the pin title & description checker counts what Pinterest limits.
