Small Caps Generator

How to use the small caps generator

1. Type or paste your text. Lowercase letters become small capitals.
2. Press Copy next to a style and paste it into your bio, post or name.
3. Building a website? Copy the CSS font-variant code instead for real, searchable small caps.
4. Compare small caps, all small caps and capital-first styles in the results.

Type or paste your text. Three styles appear: Small caps keeps your capital letters full size and turns lowercase letters into small capitals, All small caps converts every letter to the same small height, and Small caps, capital first letters starts each word with a full capital like a book heading. Press Copy and paste the result anywhere. If you are building a web page, copy the CSS line instead.

What are small caps?

Small capitals are capital letter shapes drawn at about the height of a lowercase x. Typographers use them for acronyms in running text, for the first words of a chapter, and for headings that need emphasis without shouting. In Unicode, most small capital letters were added for the International Phonetic Alphabet, where ʀ and ɢ stand for specific speech sounds, and for Uralic phonetic notation.

Example

"The Quick Brown Fox" in the mixed style keeps T, Q, B and F as full capitals and converts the rest: Tʜᴇ Qᴜɪᴄᴋ Bʀᴏᴡɴ Fᴏx. Notice that the x in Fox stays an ordinary x, because Unicode has no small capital x. In the all small caps style the same phrase becomes ᴛʜᴇ ǫᴜɪᴄᴋ ʙʀᴏᴡɴ ꜰᴏx.

Small caps character map

Because the letters come from three different blocks, a few of them may look slightly taller or bolder than the others in some fonts.

Real small caps on websites

When you control the styling, use CSS rather than Unicode. The property font-variant-caps: small-caps (or the shorthand font-variant: small-caps) tells the browser to use the font's own small capitals, or to synthesize them if the font has none. The text stays normal letters underneath, so search engines index it, screen readers pronounce it, and copy and paste gives ordinary text. Fonts with true small caps, such as many book typefaces, give the best result.

Where these characters work

Because the result is plain Unicode text, it pastes into most places that accept emoji. In practice it usually works in:

• Instagram: bio, display name, captions and comments. Usernames only allow basic letters, numbers, periods and underscores.
• TikTok: profile bio, display name, captions and comments.
• Discord: messages, nicknames, channel topics and server descriptions.
• X, Facebook, YouTube and WhatsApp: posts, bios and messages.

Apps can change what they accept at any time, and some strip or replace unusual characters in names. Older phones and computers may show empty boxes when a font on the device does not include a symbol, so preview your text on a second device before using it somewhere important.

Accessibility and search caveats

Screen readers do not treat these symbols as ordinary letters. Depending on the reader and platform, a styled word may be read out one character at a time with names such as "mathematical bold capital H", or skipped completely. People who rely on assistive technology can miss your message entirely.

• Use styled text for short decorative accents, not for whole posts, names people need to find or important details like dates, prices and links.
• Do not style hashtags or keywords. Search features match normal letters, so styled words are usually not found in search.
• Where the platform offers real formatting, such as bold in Discord Markdown or in a document editor, use that instead because it stays accessible.
