<h1>Rebane's Discord <span style="color:#5865F2">Colored</span> Text Generator</h1>
<div class="container">
<h3>About</h3>
<p>This is a simple app that creates colored Discord messages using the ANSI color codes available on the latest Discord desktop versions.</p>
<p>To use this, write your text, select parts of it and assign colors to them, then copy it using the button below, and send in a Discord message.</p>
<h3>Source Code</h3>
<p>This app runs entirely in your browser and the source code is freely available on <a href="https://gist.github.com/rebane2001/07f2d8e80df053c70a1576d27eabe97c">GitHub</a>. Shout out to kkrypt0nn for <a href="https://gist.github.com/kkrypt0nn/a02506f3712ff2d1c8ca7c9e0aed7c06">this guide</a>.</p>

This is super useful! I'd just like to humbly request a way to turn line wrapping off in the web version to make long lines easier to edit.

It's true that this allows for more personalization, this site is more color oriented, and https://discordfont.org is more oriented towards the font style of the site, both of which I use often.

Really great work! Thanks for sharing you work!

For those looking to add visual flair to their Discord avatars beyond just text styling, I highly recommend checking out discord-decoration.art. While this site focuses on colored text generation, Discord Decoration Art specializes in avatar decorations and visual enhancements.

It's the perfect complement to colored text - while this site handles your message styling, Discord Decoration Art takes care of making your profile picture stand out. Together, they offer a complete Discord customization solution without the $120/year Nitro cost.
