Type something above to see it in ꜱᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘꜱ, ˢᵘᵖᵉʳˢᶜʳⁱᵖᵗ and ₛᵤbₛcᵣᵢₚₜ.
Tip: Unicode has no small copy of a few letters, so they stay normal size — most of all in Subscript. Small Caps is the most complete style.
About the Small Text Generator
This small text generator makes your words look tiny. Type once and you get three styles: ꜱᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘꜱ (capital shapes at the height of small letters), ˢᵘᵖᵉʳˢᶜʳⁱᵖᵗ (tiny letters that sit high, like the 2 in x²) and subscript (tiny letters that sit low, like the 2 in H₂O). Click Copy next to a style and paste it where you want.
The small letters are real Unicode characters, so they stay small in apps where you cannot change the font size — an Instagram bio, a Discord name, a game chat.
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Features
- Three small styles first — small caps, superscript and subscript
- Small numbers — superscript and subscript also turn 0–9 into tiny digits
- Math signs — + − = ( ) get tiny copies in superscript and subscript
- One-click copy for every style
- Live — the result changes as you type
- 23 more styles below, from bold to upside down
- Private — your text stays on your device
Which letters can be small?
Unicode does not have a small copy of every letter. The table shows what each style can do. Capital letters are made small too, because Unicode has no "small capital" for a capital letter.
| Style | Letters | Missing (stay normal) | Numbers | Example: "Tiny text" |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Caps | 25 of 26 | x (q is drawn as ǫ) | stay normal | ᴛɪɴʏ ᴛᴇxᴛ |
| Superscript | 25 of 26 | q | ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹ | ᵗⁱⁿʸ ᵗᵉˣᵗ |
| Subscript | 17 of 26 | b c d f g q w y z | ₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉ | ₜᵢₙy ₜₑₓₜ |
So Small Caps and Superscript work for almost any word. Subscript is best for numbers and short words without the missing letters: "note" becomes ₙₒₜₑ, but "tiny" becomes ₜᵢₙy, with a normal y.
The small caps x is just a normal x, because small x and small-caps X look the same. The ǫ for q is a Latin letter with a small hook; it is the closest shape Unicode has.
What people use small text for
- A quiet second line in a bio: ᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛ · ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍᴇʀ
- Status words in a name or a profile: ᴏɴʟɪɴᴇ ɴᴏᴡ
- Footnote marks in a post or a chat: see note¹ — type "1" and copy the superscript line
- Simple maths without an editor: x², e=mc² — see the tip below
- Chemistry: H₂O, CO₂ — see the tip below
- A tag after a name: ⁽ᵇᵉᵗᵃ⁾
Tip for formulas. The styles make every letter small, so "x2" becomes ˣ² and "H2O" becomes ₕ₂ₒ. For a formula, type only the numbers in the box (for example "2"), copy the superscript or subscript line, and paste it after your normal letters: x + ² = x², H + ₂ + O = H₂O.
Small text in Word and Google Docs
In a document you do not need Unicode letters. The editor can make any text superscript or subscript, and it keeps spell check working:
| Editor | Superscript | Subscript | Small caps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Word (Windows) | Ctrl + Shift + = | Ctrl + = | Ctrl + Shift + K |
| Google Docs | Ctrl + . | Ctrl + , | not built in |
On a Mac, use Command instead of Ctrl. Use this page for places that have no format buttons: social apps, chats, names and games.
Why some letters show as boxes
Small letters come from several Unicode blocks, added at different times. ꜰ and ꜱ (small caps f and s) are in a newer block called Latin Extended-D, so a few old phones and apps show them as empty boxes. Superscript and subscript letters such as ᵇ or ₚ are also missing in some fonts. In those apps, the line may look uneven or show boxes. Try another style, or keep that word normal.
Small text and screen readers
Small letters are often not real letters to a computer. A screen reader may read "ᴛɪɴʏ" as "Latin letter small capital T…", read superscript as "modifier letter small t", or skip it. App search does not find the word either.
Use small text for short decoration: a status, a tag, a footnote mark. Write anything important — your name, a price, a date — in normal letters, so everyone can read it.
Frequently asked questions
Why are some letters not small?
Unicode has no small copy of them. In Subscript, b, c, d, f, g, q, w, y and z are missing. In Superscript only q is missing, and in Small Caps the x is a normal x. The tool keeps those letters as normal letters so your text stays readable.
Why did my capital letters become small?
Small caps, superscript and subscript only exist as small letters in Unicode, so the tool turns capitals into small letters first. Small caps already look like capitals, just shorter.
How do I write x² or H₂O?
Type only the number, for example "2". For x², copy the Superscript line (²) and paste it after a normal x. For H₂O, copy the Subscript line (₂) and paste it between a normal H and O. The Emoji Picker also has all tiny digits in its Symbols tab.
What is the difference between small caps and lowercase?
Lowercase letters have their own shapes (a, g, r). Small caps have the shapes of capitals at the height of lowercase letters (ᴀ, ɢ, ʀ). Many brands and designers use small caps for a calm, clean look.
Does small text work in an Instagram bio?
Yes. Copy a style and paste it into the bio. Each small letter counts as a character. Some apps count a few of them as two.
Is there a small text font I can install?
You do not need one. These are characters, not a font, so they show up in any app that has the characters in its fonts.
