WhatsApp Text Formatter and Preview (Bold, Italic, Lists)
Write a clearer WhatsApp message with the formatting WhatsApp already understands. Type on the left, preview the result on the right, then copy the exact text with its asterisks and underscores intact.
How to use it
Three quick steps.
- 1
Type or paste a message into the formatter.
- 2
Use *bold*, _italic_, ~strikethrough~ or ```monospace``` around the words you want to style.
- 3
Copy the formatted text and make one final check in the WhatsApp composer.
Why it helps
Formatting is most useful when it makes a busy message easier to scan. Use bold for a price, deadline or action. Use italics for a gentle note. Keep strikethrough for a correction, not for decoration. A short list with one item per line is often easier to read than a paragraph sent in a hurry.
WhatsApp's markup is deliberately simple. It is not a full document editor, so preview the message in the real composer before sending. Phone and desktop clients can render small differences, especially when a line contains nested punctuation.
When your team writes the same kind of customer update every day, Desk AI can draft the message from your approved knowledge while leaving the final formatting and send action with a person.
Questions people ask
FAQ
Does this send the message to WhatsApp?
No. It only previews and copies text in your browser.
How do I make text bold?
Wrap the words in asterisks, like *important update*.
How do I add a bullet list?
Start each line with a dash or a bullet character, then check the preview before you copy it.
Why do my underscores show?
WhatsApp formatting needs a matching underscore on both sides of the phrase. Remove extra spaces inside the pair.
Can Desk AI preserve our formatting?
Yes. Add an example to your shared knowledge and review the draft before sending.
