How it works

Small text isn’t a font. Each letter is swapped for a separate Unicode character that is drawn small, like ᴀ (small capital A) or ᵃ (superscript a). Because they are ordinary characters, they stay small wherever you paste them: a bio, a display name, a comment or a chat. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded.

Style Looks like Letters with no small version
Small caps ꜱᴍᴀʟʟ ᴛᴇxᴛ q, numbers
Superscript ˢᵐᵃˡˡ ᵗᵉˣᵗ q
Subscript ₛₘₐₗₗ ₜₑₓₜ b, c, d, f, g, q, w, y, z

Letters without a small version stay normal size, and the note under the result lists them, so you can see the gaps before you paste. Accented letters like é and letters from other alphabets stay as they are too.

The options

  • Keep capital letters (small caps): capitals stay full size and the rest become small capitals, the way small caps look in print: “Cʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ Oɴᴇ”.
  • Only numbers (superscript and subscript): only digits and + − = ( ) change, for formulas and units like H₂O, CO₂, m² and x³.
  • Back to normal turns small capitals, superscript and subscript characters back into normal letters and numbers. Use it when you copied tiny text and need it readable again.

Where small text works

  • Names, bios, captions, comments and messages in most apps, because they accept any characters.
  • Not in usernames or handles that only allow letters, numbers and a few symbols.
  • Search doesn’t match it. “ɴɪɢʜᴛ ᴏᴡʟ” and “night owl” are different characters, so people searching for your name in normal letters may not find it.
  • Screen readers struggle with it. They may read each character by name or skip it, so keep important information in normal letters.
  • Older devices may show boxes for characters their fonts don’t include.

Questions

How do I make small text?

Type your text above, pick Small caps, Superscript or Subscript, and copy the result. The tool swaps each letter for a small Unicode character, so the text stays small wherever you paste it, without a special font.

Why do some letters stay normal size?

Unicode only has small versions of some letters. There is no subscript b, c, d, f, g, q, w, y or z, and the small capital and superscript q are recent additions that many fonts don’t include yet, so q stays normal too. The note under the result lists the letters that stayed normal.

Why does small text show as boxes or question marks?

The device that shows it has no font with those characters. It happens most on older phones and computers. Try another style, or check the text on a newer device.

Can I use small text in my Instagram name?

In your name and bio, yes: they accept any characters. Your username can’t have it, because Instagram usernames only allow letters, numbers, periods and underscores.

How do I type superscript numbers like ² and ³?

On Windows, hold Alt and type 0178 for ², 0179 for ³ or 0185 for ¹ on the number pad. In Microsoft Word, Ctrl+Shift+= turns on superscript and Ctrl+= subscript. Here, pick Superscript or Subscript with Only numbers on.

Do screen readers read small text?

Not reliably. Many read each character by its name, like "modifier letter small t", or skip it. Keep small text for decoration, and write anything important in normal letters.
