Small caps generator

Type your text and the lowercase letters become small capitals. Everything else stays as it was.

0 / 500

This makes styled text out of special characters. It is not a font file, and some screen readers read it badly, so use it for decoration only.

The text Hello, world in this style:

Small caps
Hᴇʟʟᴏ, ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ

What changes and what does not

Lowercase letters are replaced by small capitals. Capitals, digits and punctuation are left alone, so a capital at the start of a sentence stays full size while the rest turns small.

Two letters are special

Unicode has no small capital x, so x stays an ordinary x. The small capital q is a newer character that many fonts lack, so this generator uses a look-alike, a small o with a tail, which reads as q in context.

Where the letters come from

They are borrowed from phonetic alphabets, not from typography. That means the spacing and weight can look a little uneven next to ordinary letters.

On a website, use real small caps

If you are building a page, CSS can do true small caps without changing the text: font-variant: small-caps. That keeps the words as ordinary letters for search and screen readers.

Questions

Why does my x look normal?

There is no small capital x in Unicode, so the generator leaves it alone.

Why is the q a different shape?

The real small capital q is missing from many fonts, so a look-alike is used to avoid empty boxes.

Can I make a whole sentence small caps?

Yes, but remember that the capital letters stay full size. Type in lowercase if you want all of it small.
