Superscript generator — small raised text
Superscript turns your text into small characters raised above the line — like footnote markers or exponents — that you can copy and paste anywhere. Type below and copy the result. There's also subscript (dropped below the line) if you need it.

How it works
Superscript turns your text into small characters raised above the line — like footnote markers or exponents — that you can copy and paste anywhere. Type below and copy the result. There's also subscript (dropped below the line) if you need it.
One honest limitation: Unicode doesn't have every letter as a superscript, so a few characters may stay full-size. For a complete tiny alphabet, small caps is the safer pick.

The Origins of Superscript generator — small raised text
Superscript and subscript characters exist in Unicode so people can write maths and footnotes in plain text — x², H₂O, that kind of thing. They got borrowed for aesthetic captions, where small raised text reads as quiet and precise.
Where to Use It
Footnote markers and references in plain text
Exponents and simple math (x², 2ⁿ)
Tiny aesthetic captions and asides
Compact labels in bios
