About this tool
Small text on this page means small capitals: letters shaped like capitals but sized like lowercase. Unicode includes most of them as phonetic characters, which is why they work as plain text. The first result keeps your original capital letters, so a name still starts with a full-height initial. The second converts everything.
A couple of letters lack a true small capital. The tool uses a close look-alike for Q and leaves X unchanged. If you want truly tiny characters that sit above or below the baseline, use the tiny text generator instead, which makes superscript and subscript letters.
How to use the small text generator
- Type your words in normal capitalization.
- Choose “Small caps” to keep capitals, or “All small caps” for a uniform look.
- Copy the version you like.
- Paste it and check that every letter shows as intended.

- Subtle emphasis without bold.
Compatibility and limits
Small caps are widely supported, though a few of the letters come from rarely used blocks and may look slightly different in some fonts. As with other Unicode styles, they are not ideal for important information because search and screen readers may handle them poorly.
Text made with Unicode characters can be hard for screen readers to read and may not match searches for the original words. Keep names, links and important details in plain text.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as small caps in a word processor?
Visually similar, but no. A word processor shrinks capital letters, while this tool uses separate characters.
Why is X not converted?
Unicode has no standard small capital X, so it stays unchanged.
