Small text generator

This small text generator turns what you type into tiny raised letters, like ᵗʰⁱˢ, or small capitals, like ᴛʜɪꜱ, to paste into a bio, a name or a caption. Instagram and Facebook don't let you change the text size in those fields, so instead of a font, the generator swaps each letter for a Unicode character that's drawn smaller. A few letters have no small version and get a stand-in.

Where they work

Small text generator: where they work
Where	Works?	Notes
Instagram bio	Works	A tiny line works as a quiet extra, like ᵉˢᵗ. ²⁰²¹ under a shop name. Anything people need, such as hours or contact details, should stay full size.
Instagram name	Works	Small caps suit the name field because they stay readable. Tiny letters are better kept for a short extra after your name than for the name itself.
Instagram username	Doesn't work	Only a–z, 0–9, full stops and underscores are allowed in a handle, so neither tiny letters nor small caps will be accepted.
Captions, comments and DMs	Works	Both styles show on current phones. Tiny letters are gathered from several Unicode blocks, so on some devices a word looks slightly bumpy, with letters at different heights.
Instagram Stories	Works	Pasted small text works, but you don't need it there: the Story text tool has a size slider that shrinks real text, which stays easier to read.
Hashtags	Doesn't work	#ᵗⁱⁿʸ and #ᴛɪɴʏ are made of different characters from #tiny, so neither adds your post to that tag. Write tags in normal letters.
Facebook profile name	Doesn't work	Facebook asks for your everyday name without unusual characters, so a name in raised letters or small capitals will be refused.

Raised, lowered or small capitals

Style	Example	Best for	Missing
Tiny (raised)	ᵗʰᵃⁿᵏ ʸᵒᵘ ᶠᵒʳ ¹ᵏ	Asides, sign-offs, ordinals like 2ⁿᵈ and powers like x²	Some letters, including q and several capitals, need look-alike stand-ins
Small caps	ᴛʜᴀɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ ꜰᴏʀ 1ᴋ	Names, labels and short headings that need to be read	A small capital X, and small digits
Subscript (lowered, not in this generator)	H₂O, CO₂, x₁	Chemistry and maths	Lowered forms exist for only 17 of the 26 letters

Raised text sits up where an exponent would, so it reads like something said under your breath after the main point. Small caps stay on the line and are much easier to take in, which makes them the better pick for anything people should actually read.

Subscript isn't offered here because too many letters are missing, but all ten lowered digits exist, so you can copy them for formulas: ₀ ₁ ₂ ₃ ₄ ₅ ₆ ₇ ₈ ₉.

Real small text, where you can get it

A few places let you shrink real text, and there it beats any pasted character, because the words stay ordinary and easy to read:

Where	How	Who sees it smaller
Instagram Stories and Reels	Use the Story size slider, or pinch the text, in the editor	Everyone who watches
Discord messages	Start a line with -# and a space to get small subtext	Everyone in the channel
Your phone's display	Change the text or font size in your phone's settings	Only you
Web pages you build	Use the small, sup and sub tags in HTML, or a smaller font size in CSS	Everyone who visits

Instagram and Facebook text fields, from your bio to a comment, have no size control at all. That's the gap small Unicode characters fill, which is why they're worth using there and almost nowhere else.

Pair small text with bold

Small text only looks small next to something bigger. On its own, a line of small caps simply looks like another font. Put it beside or under a bold word and the contrast does the work: people read the bold part first and the small part second.

Where	Example
Name field	𝗠𝗔𝗬𝗔 ᴄᴇʀᴀᴍɪᴄꜱ
First line of a bio	𝗦𝗼𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 ᵐᵃᵈᵉ ᵇʸ ʰᵃⁿᵈ
Caption opening	𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, then ꜱʜɪᴘꜱ ꜰʀɪᴅᴀʏ on the next line

Stick to two sizes. Bold, small caps and tiny text all in one bio starts to look like a ransom note.

Questions people ask

Can I make my Instagram bio text smaller?

Not with a setting. Instagram shows bio text at one size, and names, captions and comments work the same way. Tiny letters and small caps only imitate smaller text, using characters that happen to be drawn smaller.

How do I write H₂O or CO₂ on Instagram?

Copy the lowered digits from the comparison above and paste them where you need them. Unicode has all ten, from ₀ to ₉, and they display on current phones. This generator only makes raised characters, so it's right for x² or 1ˢᵗ but not for chemistry.

Can screen readers read small text?

Not reliably. Depending on the app and device, a screen reader may read tiny letters as normal letters, spell them out one at a time, or say nothing. Use small text as decoration and keep anything people need in normal letters.

Does small text work on Facebook?

In posts, comments and Messenger, yes: the characters paste like any other text. Profile names are the exception, because Facebook's name rules don't allow unusual characters.
