Bold the caption of subfigure

captionsformattingsubfloats

I have a figure with two subfigures, I want to bold the caption of the subfigure and the (a) beside the caption of that. Like the following, I want to write (a) this is bold.

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{authblk}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{textcase}
\usepackage{subfig}

\usepackage[margin=10pt,font=footnotesize,justification=centering, labelsep = period].   {caption}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htb!]
\subfloat[\textbf{this is bold}]{\includegraphics[ height=2 in, width=2 in]{Images/ppt3/a.pdf}}
\subfloat[]{\includegraphics[ height=2 in, width=2 in]{Images/ppt3/b.pdf}}
\caption{Visual} 
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Welcome to TeX.SE!

You need to define (as option of subfig package) used font in caption:

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{authblk}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{textcase}
\usepackage[font={bf, footnotesize}]{subfig} % <---

\usepackage[margin=10pt,
            font=footnotesize,
            justification=centering, 
            labelsep = period]{caption}
            
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[66]
    \begin{figure}[htb!]
    \centering
    \setkeys{Gin}{height=2in,width=2 in}
\subfloat[bold sub-caption]{\includegraphics{example-image-a}}

\medskip
\subfloat[]{\includegraphics{example-image-b}}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

For more details consult documentation of the subfig package.

[Tex/LaTex] Two figures side by side with text wrapping

You have to carefully adjust the dimensions of your image and the number of lines the wrap figure will extend ( for example [10] in \begin{wrapfigure}[10]{r}{5.5cm}).

An example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx,wrapfig,lipsum}
%------------------------------------------
\begin{document}
This is where the table goes with text wrapping around it. You may
embed tabular environment inside wraptable environment and customize as you like.
%------------------------------------------
\begin{wrapfigure}[10]{r}{5.5cm}
\rule{5.5cm}{7.1cm}
\caption{A wrapped figure}\label{wrap-fig:1}
\end{wrapfigure}
%------------------------------------------

\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{minipage}{6cm}
\centering
\rule{\textwidth}{3cm}
\caption{my figure}\label{fig:2}
\end{minipage}%
\end{figure}%

\lipsum[2-3]

Figure~\ref{wrap-fig:1} is a wrapped figure.

[Tex/LaTex] Subfigure and caption placement

You can use subfigure for the subfigures and a minipage for the caption:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subcaption}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{test subfigure}
\end{subfigure}\hfill
\begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{test subfigure}
\end{subfigure}\hfill
\begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{test subfigure}
\end{subfigure}\par
\begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{test subfigure}
\end{subfigure}\hfill
\begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{test subfigure}
\end{subfigure}\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.3\textwidth}
\caption{a figure with six subfigures and a caption placed beside one of the subfigures}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subcaption}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{test subfigure}
\end{subfigure}\quad
\begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{test subfigure}
\end{subfigure}\par
\begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{test subfigure}
\end{subfigure}\quad
\begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{test subfigure}
\end{subfigure}\par
\begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{test subfigure}
\end{subfigure}\quad
\begin{minipage}{.3\textwidth}
\caption{a figure with six subfigures and a caption placed beside one of the subfigures}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Use the optional argument for the environments to get the desired alignment, if required.
