Real Characters, Not Pictures
You paste text, not an image — genuine characters that survive being copied, edited, and typed around, which a screenshot of styled text never does.
These are not fonts. They are different characters — which is why the line describing what you do should stay in plain letters.
Producing the characters is the quick part. Below: what you get, where it is safe to use, and which styles are riskier than they look.

Your bio has slots that can carry decoration and slots that cannot. The display name usually can; the line saying what you do, the link text, and any contact detail get flagged instead.
Some styles sit in parts of Unicode with gaps in them, and a missing letter shows as a box on somebody's phone. The ones more likely to break get marked before you commit.
Three steps from a plain bio to a styled one that people can still find.
The whole thing, not one word — the advice depends on which line you are styling and what that line is doing.
Each line comes back in the styles you asked for, with a note on the ones that should stay plain and the styles most likely to render badly.
Copy what you keep into Instagram. Save the run as a Playbook so a second account, or next month's bio edit, follows the same rules.
Twenty styles is the easy part. Knowing where to put them is not.
The 𝓗 in a script bio is not an H wearing a costume — it is a separate character borrowed from a mathematical alphabet. A screen reader finds no letter there: it reads out a code point, spells the word one symbol at a time, or skips it.

Because those are not the letters people type, a search for what you actually do will not match the styled version of it. That is a real trade, worth making deliberately — decorative on the name, plain on the line that has to be searchable, rather than decorative everywhere.

The blocks these characters live in are not uniformly complete — a few letters in some styles sit somewhere else in Unicode, which is where missing glyphs and stray boxes come from. Treat the flagged styles as ones to test on a real phone before you commit to them.

Once you have decided which style is yours and which lines stay plain, that is a house rule rather than a per-bio decision — and it applies to the second account and every edit after this one. Your AllyHub never starts from scratch again, so it gets faster every time.

Creators setting up a bio, small brands, anyone who needs to stay findable, and accounts with more than one editor.
The bio is the one block of text every visitor reads, which makes it tempting to style all four lines. Styling the name and leaving the rest alone gets you the look without quietly removing yourself from search.
A shop bio has to carry what you sell, where you are, and how to order — three things people search for in plain words. Decoration belongs on the parts that are not doing that work.
If people reach you by searching what you do rather than by already knowing your name, the line describing what you do is the last thing that should be styled. It is also the line most bios style first.
Three people edit the bio over a year and the styling drifts — two lines in one script, one in another, one plain by accident. A written rule is the only thing that survives a handover.

What these characters are, where to use them, how they render, and doing it again.
A tool that converts what you type into decorative characters you can paste into Instagram. Calling them fonts is the confusion worth clearing up early: Instagram has no font setting, and what these tools produce are different characters that happen to be shaped like letters.
Yes, one bio at a time. Several accounts styled to one rule, longer text, and keeping that rule so later edits follow it are on the paid plans.
Anything doing a job other than looking nice. The line stating what you do is how people searching for that thing arrive at you; link text and contact details need to be readable by software as well as by eyes. The display name is usually where decoration is safe, because nobody searches for it in styled form either way.
Not reliably, and that is worth knowing before a bio you plan to leave up. Rendering depends on the device having a glyph for each character, and older phones and some browsers are missing plenty of them. The styles most exposed to that get flagged, and testing on an actual phone remains the only real check.
Converting is where almost every one of these ends, so the question of where to use it never comes up at all. Here each line of the bio is assessed for whether it can afford to be styled, the riskier styles are marked, and the rule you land on carries to the next account and the next edit.
