About this small text generator
Small text is made of special Unicode letters that sit higher, lower, or smaller than normal ones, so it keeps its look wherever you paste it. Small caps turns lowercase letters into little capitals, as in ᴛʜɪs, and leaves real capitals as they are. Superscript raises letters, digits, and signs above the line, which suits exponents such as x² and footnote-style notes. Subscript lowers them, which suits chemical formulas such as H₂O. Unicode does not have a small version of every letter, so a few letters, especially in subscript, stay normal size.
How to make small text
- Type your text. Type a phrase, a formula, or a note, or press an example.
- Press Make small text. The small caps, superscript, and subscript versions appear below.
- Copy the one you need. Press Copy next to a version and paste it wherever you like.
Frequently asked questions
Why are some letters not made smaller?
Unicode only includes small forms for some letters. Subscript has no b, c, d, f, g, q, w, y, or z, and superscript has no q; those letters stay normal size. The result shows how many letters could not be converted.
Which version should I use for H₂O or x²?
Use Formula for chemical formulas: it lowers only the digits, so H2O + CO2 becomes H₂O + CO₂. Use Exponents for math: it raises only the digits and signs, so x2 + y2 becomes x² + y². The full Subscript and Superscript versions also shrink the letters.
What does small caps do with capital letters?
Capitals are kept as normal capitals, and lowercase letters become small capitals, which gives the classic small caps look: Hᴇʟʟᴏ.
Is small text readable by screen readers?
Not reliably. Many screen readers announce these characters by their Unicode names, so use small text for decoration rather than important information.
