Want to make your Instagram bio look sleek or just a little different?

Adding invisible text and spaces might be the secret trick you didn’t know you needed. Do not think of them as something relevant to a coding manual.

The idea is quite simple.

These are specialized characters that seem blank to a human on screen, but algorithms do read and consider them.

In fact, there are plenty of tricks and strategies to using Instagram (whether for personal use or business). You can see other stories anonymously, you can copy their methods, and achieve similar results.

But in this blog post, we’ll walk you through how you can add such blank spaces to your Instagram bio to make it look unique.

Why Use Them in Your Instagram Bio?

Instagram bios are limited to 150 characters, and often it can feel restrictive when trying to format your text creatively. Invisible text and spaces can make your bio look cleaner, better organized, or even more eye-catching.

Here’s why Instagram users use them:

• Clean Formatting: They help to avoid text wraps.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Make bios look clean and different from others.

How to Get Invisible Spaces for Instagram?

You can get invisible text or spaces by using two different approaches. One is the manual approach of creating one using the Unicode character. The other is a smart approach in which you can copy one directly from a tool with a single click.

Method 1: Using Unicode Characters

This is the traditional way of creating invisible spaces that you can use on different platforms including Instagram. Unicode is a universal character encoding system that allows special invisible characters to be inserted.

The steps below will help you put them into your Instagram bio.

1. Locate an Invisible Unicode Character

Copy a Unicode character from reliable sources online. After landing on the tool search for “Zero Width Space” and open it. There you’ll see a “Copy” button, simply click on it as shown in the below image. 

Know that, not all the Unicode characters work on a particular platform. So, you have to memorize codes that work on the platform you want to create a blank space for. This is the reason we mentioned you to search for “Zero Width Space” because it works on Instagram. 

2. Edit Your Instagram Bio

Once you have copied the Unicode, open your Instagram app, go to Profile, and tap Edit Profile. 

Then click on your bio and paste the copied invisible character into your bio wherever you want the blank spaces or line breaks. 

Tap (✓) to update your profile. That’s it, your bio will now include invisible spaces. 

Method 2: Using Editpad’s Invisible Character Tool 

If messing around with Unicode feels too technical, there’s an easier way, i.e., Editpad’s Invisible Character tool. It offers a user-friendly solution to copy a blank character effortlessly and eliminates the need to memorize Unicode codes. 

This is because the empty text is already on the screen — very simply for you to just copy+paste. No need to lookup the unicode yourself, and dig through tons of characters.

Here are the steps you need to follow to instantly add blank spaces to your Instagram bio using this smart approach. 

1. Visit Editpad’s Website

Head to the Invisible Character Generator by Editpad. Upon landing on the tool, you’ll see two methods on the screen to copy invisible spaces. 

In method 1, you just have to click on the “Copy to Clipboard” button.

If these methods don’t work, try copying any of the empty characters provided by Character Calculator instead.

2. Insert It into Your Instagram Bio

Just like with the Unicode method, paste it into the desired location in your bio and hit save (✓).
