How to use it
- Type your bio or caption on the left exactly how you want it laid out, pressing Enter for new lines.
- Hit Copy for Instagram.
- Paste it straight into the Instagram app or web β paste, don't retype, or the spacing is lost again.
Why Instagram eats your line breaks
Instagram trims what it treats as empty whitespace. A line with nothing on it gets collapsed, which is why a bio you carefully spaced out arrives as one solid block. The fix is to make those "empty" lines not technically empty β they need to contain a character that occupies the line without displaying anything visible. This tool inserts one for you.
Which spacer to choose
The default is the Braille blank (U+2800), an invisible character that reliably counts as content β it's the most dependable option across the app and the web. The zero-width non-joiner is even more invisible but occasionally gets stripped. The middle dot is visible but never fails, which makes it a safe fallback if a platform is being stubborn. Bear in mind every spacer character counts toward your limit β 150 characters for a bio, 2,200 for a caption β so the counter above tracks the real total including spacers.
Benefits
- Keeps blank lines intact in Instagram bios and captions, where they are normally stripped.
- Four spacer options so you can fall back if a platform strips one.
- Live character counter against the real 150 (bio) and 2,200 (caption) limits.
- Preview shows exactly how the spacing will appear.
Limitations to know
- Spacer characters count toward your character limit.
- The zero-width option is occasionally stripped by some clients.
- Spacing is lost if you retype rather than paste, or edit inside the app afterwards.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Retyping the text into Instagram instead of pasting the copied version.
- Forgetting that invisible spacers eat into a 150-character bio quickly.
- Editing the bio inside Instagram after pasting, which can collapse the lines again.
Alternatives
To check length use the Character Counter; for styled bio text use the Fancy Text Generator.

Frequently asked questions
Why did my spacing disappear again?
Almost always because the text was retyped rather than pasted, or edited inside Instagram afterwards. Paste the copied version in one go and save.
Does this work for captions too?
Yes. Switch the target to Caption for the 2,200-character limit β the technique is identical.
Do the invisible characters count toward the limit?
Yes, which is why the counter shows the true total. That's also why a heavily spaced bio runs out of room quickly.
