Superscript generator

Type your text to raise it into superscript: small letters, numbers and signs that sit above the line. Copy it into a caption, a bio, a note or a message, and check the chart below for the letters Unicode does not have.

How to use it

  1. Type your text

    Type or paste the words you want to style. Every style below changes as you type.

  2. Pick a style

    Look through the styles and choose the one that suits your bio, caption or message.

  3. Copy and paste

    Select Copy next to the style, then paste the text where you want it and check how it looks there.

Which letters have a superscript

Each pair shows the character you type on top and the character you get underneath. Characters in grey have no superscript form, so they stay as typed.

What superscript is

Superscript letters and numbers sit above the baseline, as in footnotes, exponents such as x² and ordinal numbers such as 4th. In Unicode they are separate characters, so the raised look stays when you paste them into apps that offer no formatting. The generator swaps each of your characters for its raised twin.

Letters Unicode does not have

Unicode has a raised form for every digit, for the signs + - = ( ) and for every small letter except q. A raised q was added only in 2021 and is not widely supported, so q stays as typed rather than risk an empty box on some devices.

Capital letters are raised where Unicode has widely supported ones: A, B, D, E, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, T, U, V and W. C, F, Q, S, X, Y and Z stay as typed, so a capital C in your text stays at its normal size.

Using superscript

Raised text is for display. A spreadsheet, a calculator or a code editor will not read it as an exponent, and superscript is slower to read, so keep important information in normal letters. It suits:

  • Footnote marks and citation numbers after a word.
  • Exponents such as x² in a message or a caption.
  • Ordinal endings such as 4th.
  • Raised text for a quiet note.

Frequently asked questions

How do I type superscript on my phone?

Most phone keyboards have no superscript keys. Type your text above, copy the superscript version and paste it where you need it. The raised letters are characters, so they stay raised.

Which letters have a superscript?

Every digit, the signs + - = ( ) and all small letters except q. Capitals are raised only where Unicode has one: A, B, D, E, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, T, U, V and W. The chart above shows every character.

What is the difference between superscript and tiny text?

Tiny text turns every letter, capitals included, into the small raised lowercase form. Superscript keeps your capitals and raises them where Unicode has a raised capital, and it also raises the signs + - = ( ). Digits are raised in both.

Can I use superscript for exponents and footnotes?

Yes, for a short exponent such as x² or a footnote mark in a caption or a message. These are display characters, so a spreadsheet or a code editor will not treat them as exponents.

Why does my q stay normal size?

Unicode added a raised q only in 2021 and it is not widely supported, so the generator leaves q as typed instead of risking an empty box on some devices.

Is the superscript generator free?

Yes. It runs in your browser with no account and nothing to install. Your text is converted on your device and is never uploaded or saved, so you can try as many versions as you like.
