Instagram, unfortunately, doesn’t have a sophisticated enough text handler to allow you to use an italic version of its in-built fonts. One solution is to use our Instagram Fonts Generator, enter your text, and look for a font suggestion that has a look similar to italics. Some of the other apps we cover in this article would work similarly. Another option is to go to YayText, which converts any text to italics or bold, which you can then upload into Instagram.
