Instagram Bio Space Generator

Your Instagram bio is the first thing a potential follower reads. A well-spaced bio with clear visual hierarchy — a title on one line, a value proposition below, then a clean call-to-action — converts profile visitors into followers far more effectively than a wall of text on a single line. The problem is that Instagram deliberately collapses blank lines: any empty line you type gets stripped the moment the bio is saved, leaving everything crammed together.

This generator solves the spacing problem by inserting an invisible Unicode character — the Braille Pattern Blank (U+2800, rendered as ⠀) — on each intended blank line. Instagram does not recognise this character as whitespace, so it passes through the save process intact, creating a visually blank line that actually holds space. The tool gives you a line-by-line editor so you can write each bio section separately, choose the exact spacing between them, drop in symbols and dividers, and see the result in a live profile preview before you copy.

• Write each bio line separately — each input in the editor is one visible line of your bio. Start with your title or role, then add location, hobby, or CTA lines below.
• Set spacing between lines — below each line (except the last) is a spacing strip with three options: None (lines appear directly beneath each other), 1 line (one invisible blank line between them), or 2 lines (two blank lines). The character counter updates in real time to include the invisible separators.
• Reorder lines — use the ↑ and ↓ buttons on the left of each row to rearrange lines without cutting and pasting.
• Insert symbols — click a symbol in the picker to insert it at the cursor of the last focused line. Use bullets (•, ✦, ★) as list markers, dividers (|, —, ·) for inline separation, or decorative lines (──, · · ·) as full-line dividers.
• Apply a template — expand Bio Templates and click one to load a ready-made structure. Replace the placeholder text in [brackets] with your own content.
• Check the preview — the right panel shows your bio inside a realistic Instagram profile mockup that updates as you type. The 150-character counter turns amber above 120 characters and red if you exceed 150.
• Copy and paste into Instagram — click "Copy Bio", open Instagram, go to Edit Profile → Bio, select all existing text, and paste. For best results, paste from the mobile app.

Bio output construction — the bioOutput computed getter assembles the final string from the lines array. It starts with lines[0].text, then for each subsequent line checks the previous line's spaceAfter value:

• spaceAfter = 0 — appends \n then the next line's text (lines appear directly adjacent).
• spaceAfter = 1 — appends \n⠀ (newline + Braille blank), then \n + the next line's text. Result: one visually empty line between the two content lines.
• spaceAfter = 2 — appends \n⠀\n⠀, giving two blank lines. The expression uses ('\n' + IB_SEP).repeat(n) to handle any count cleanly.

Character counting — all characters in bioOutput are counted, including \n newlines (1 char each) and ⠀ separators (1 char each). A "1 blank line" gap therefore adds 3 characters (\n⠀\n) before the next line, and a "2 blank lines" gap adds 5 characters. The counter reflects this so you won't hit Instagram's 150-character limit by surprise.

Symbol insertion at cursor — each line input fires @focus="onLineFocus(i)", storing the index of the most recently focused input in _focused (a plain non-reactive property). When a symbol button is clicked, insertSymbol(sym) reads selectionStart from the DOM node at that index, splices the symbol into the string at that position using String.slice, then restores the cursor via $nextTick. The element must be re-focused since the click event moved focus to the symbol button.
