Invisible Text Generator

The page has four numbered panels, and most people need only the first two.

1. In 1. Copy an invisible character, choose a Character from the menu (it starts on the Hangul filler, U+3164) and set How many, from 1 to 5000.
2. Click Copy invisible text. The chips ×1, ×5, ×10, ×50 and ×500 set the number and copy in a single click. The Copy and Download .txt buttons below the output do the same job.
3. In 2. Test it, paste into the test box. It reports how many invisible characters it found and their code points, for example U+3164 ×5, so you know the clipboard really holds them.
4. Paste the characters into the app, game or form where you want a blank.
5. For a secret message, use 3. Hide a secret message in invisible text and 4. Reveal a hidden message, described below.

If the test box says no invisible characters were found, the app you copied from stripped them.

Not every blank behaves the same, which is why the Character menu has eight choices. The first three are the ones people use most.

People use them where an app insists a field contains something: a game display name that shows as empty, a nickname or channel spacer, a message that appears blank, or a line break in a bio that the app would otherwise collapse. Typing ordinary spaces fails because most apps trim them, which is the problem these characters solve.

The limits come from the receiving app, not from this tool:

• Many services trim or filter known invisible characters, and some reject a name made only of them. Try another character from the menu, or put one visible character next to the blank.
• Rules change over time and differ between games and sites, so no tool can promise that a name will be accepted. Follow the terms of service, and do not use blank names to impersonate or mislead anyone.
• A chat app may show a small empty bubble rather than nothing.
• Screen readers announce nothing for these characters, so a blank name is simply silent.

To count what you have copied, use the character counter. To strip the invisible characters the tool knows about from pasted text, use Remove Text Formatting.

Panel 3 turns a short message into zero-width characters. The tool converts your message to bytes, writes each byte as eight bits, and represents every 0 with U+200B and every 1 with U+200C. A message therefore costs eight invisible characters per byte: Hi is two bytes, so 16 characters, and Meet at 6 is nine bytes, so 72. Letters outside plain English, such as é, take two bytes, and an emoji takes four.

Type the Secret message, optionally add a Cover text, and click Create hidden message. The hidden characters are attached to the cover text, shown in the output box, and copied to your clipboard at once. The reader pastes the text into panel 4, Reveal a hidden message, or into the test box in panel 2, and the words appear.

Be realistic about security. This is concealment, not encryption: anyone with a decoder, including this page, can read it. Many platforms also strip zero-width characters, so test the full round trip before you rely on it. The binary code translator shows what the underlying bits look like for ordinary text.
