Discord Name and Channel Fit Checker
Style one name and see it everywhere Discord uses it: as a server name, a channel and your nickname in chat. The bars check the 32-character display name and 100-character server and channel limits, and the channel preview shows how Discord lowercases names and swaps spaces for dashes.

Discord Fonts & Small Text FAQs
Why does -# not make small text?
The -# must be at the very start of a line and followed by a space. It does not work inside code blocks.
Do ANSI colors work on Discord mobile?
Yes on recent Discord mobile versions; older versions show the raw code block.
Can I use small text in my Discord name?
Yes, superscript and small caps Unicode letters work in display names and nicknames. The -# subtext only works in messages.
How do I make a big heading in Discord?
Start a line with # and a space for the biggest heading, ## for medium and ### for small.
Why does my channel name look different from what I typed?
