How does a tiny text generator make letters tiny?

Tiny text is the superscript alphabet: Unicode carries raised versions of the letters (ᵃ ᵇ ᶜ ᵈ ᵉ) that were added for phonetics and maths and happen to make perfect miniature text. The same is true of the subscript set (ₐ ₑ ₕ ᵢ ⱼ), written below the line. This page pins those two, plus small caps for the words where superscript has a gap.

Tiny text is a favourite for the second line of a bio, a whispered aside in a caption, a signature under a comment or a fine-print joke. Because it is characters rather than formatting, it pastes into fields that offer no size control at all.

The conversion runs in your browser; nothing you type leaves your device.

What to know about tiny Unicode letters

  • Superscript covers every lowercase letter except q, and uppercase letters are mapped to their lowercase superscript, because Unicode has almost no superscript capitals.
  • Subscript covers seventeen letters only. The generator leaves the rest plain instead of faking them with look-alikes that would break the word.
  • The digits ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹ and ₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉ are complete, so numbers, dates and scores come out fully tiny.
  • Tiny letters are a separate string from the plain word: fine for decoration, wrong for a hashtag or a keyword you want found.

Tiny text examples

A whispered second line

Input

tiny but mighty

Superscript

ᵗⁱⁿʸ ᵇᵘᵗ ᵐⁱᵍʰᵗʸ

Every letter here has a superscript form, so the whole phrase floats. Put it under a bold first line for contrast.

A date or score in tiny digits

Input

step 1

Superscript

ˢᵗᵉᵖ ¹

Subscript

ₛₜₑₚ ₁

Digits are complete in both sets, which makes them good for footnote numbers and step markers.

Common tiny text mistakes

  • Typing in capitals and expecting tiny capitals - there are almost none in Unicode, so the result is lowercase superscript.
  • Using subscript for a word full of b, c, d, f, g, q, w, y or z: those have no subscript form and stay full size.
  • Stacking tiny text with a combining-mark style like strikethrough; the stroke lands where a full-height letter would be.

Tiny text generator FAQ

What is the difference between tiny text and small text?
Tiny text usually means superscript letters (ᵗⁱⁿʸ), which float above the line. Small text usually means small caps (ꜱᴍᴀʟʟ), which sit on the baseline at lowercase height. This page has both.
Why is the letter q missing from tiny text?
Unicode never defined a superscript q. The generator keeps the plain q rather than substituting a different letter, so the word stays correct.
Can I make tiny text in a Discord or Instagram name?
Yes, in the display name. Copy the superscript card and paste it in. The @username on both platforms accepts plain characters only.
Is tiny text readable by screen readers?
Mostly not. Superscript and subscript letters may be read as symbols or skipped. Keep them for decoration and give any important information in plain text too.
