Keep it small. Keep it sharp

Small caps give lowercase words the look of compact capital letters. This page focuses on that one change and shows a few spacing and framing variations without mixing in unrelated tiny-text effects.

What makes this different

Made for this job

Unicode doesn't contain a complete formal small-cap alphabet. Generators use speech-sound and extra word letters that resemble small capitals, so a few characters are approximations and some languages are only partly supported.

Before you paste

What to watch out for

Fancy text is still text you can copy, but each app decides what it accepts and how it looks.

  • Some letters are visual approximations rather than true typographic small caps.
  • Accented characters may stay unchanged.
  • Screen readers may pronounce some extra word letters unexpectedly.
Quick answers

Small Caps Generator FAQ

Useful tips about this style, including letters that may not have a matching fancy version.

Are these true typographic small caps?

No. True small caps are a font feature. Copyable small caps use Unicode characters that resemble compact capitals, which is why they can travel with copied text.

Why does the letter x look less “small cap” than others?

Unicode has uneven coverage for this effect. Some letters have good speech-sound matchings and others do not, so generators have to use the closest sensible character.

Is small caps the same as tiny text?

Not exactly. Small caps aims for capital-shaped letters at a smaller visual height; tiny text can also include superscript and subscript forms.
