Three steps
How this superscript generator works
Use this superscript generator when a field has no x² button and you still need a raised exponent look, a footnote-like mark, or a lowered index from the same string. Eight maps share one input so you can compare a full raise, a full lower, letters-only, numbers-only, and two alternating baselines.
- 01
Type the short string you will publish
Start with a formula-like label, a footnote number, or a one-line bio. The field begins empty. Until you type, this superscript generator previews “Superscript 42 + H2O” so letters, digits, and operators all show. There is no character cap in this app, and the Size slider only changes the preview.
- 02
Read the eight maps before you copy
The list starts with Superscript and Subscript, then Super Letters, Super Numbers, Sub Letters, Sub Numbers, Super/Sub Alternate, and Sub/Super Alternate. This superscript generator does not add Small Caps or lookalike alphabets. Click through the cards on the same input so you see which letters actually convert.
- 03
Copy one card, then inspect leftovers
Click the card or its copy icon. A short toast confirms the clipboard write. The heart saves a style ID without copying. Look for letters that stayed ordinary, then paste into the real field and confirm the line still reads.
Raised or lowered
What a superscript generator actually changes
A font-size control shrinks the same letter A. A superscript generator replaces A with another code point that already looks raised. The clipboard still holds plain text. Nothing in PasteFonts changes the destination app’s type size, and nothing here creates a Word or Google Docs superscript object.
Subscript is the same idea in the other direction: selected letters and all digits 0–9 become lowered forms. This superscript generator shows both from one input so you do not have to open a second tool. The eight cards are independent copies. They do not interleave into a mixed formula editor.
The receiving app draws the characters with its own font; no CSS vertical-align or equation object is copied. In this superscript generator, ordinary leftovers indicate incomplete mapping. After pasting, missing characters can indicate filtering, while boxes indicate missing glyphs in the destination font.
Eight cards, eight jobs
Compare maps on this superscript generator
The useful test is one short sample on every card. A superscript generator is doing its job when the eight results are obviously different, and when unmatched letters stay visible instead of disappearing.
Superscript
Superscript sits above the baseline. Use it for a mock exponent, a footnote-like marker, or a compact kicker. Type “x2” and the 2 becomes ². Type “FAQ” and Q converts to a later modifier letter, not leftover ASCII. If a destination font draws a box, that font is missing the glyph; this superscript generator still mapped Q. Do not rewrite the word in a lookalike alphabet to hide a missing glyph.
Subscript
Subscript sits below the baseline. Type “H2O” and you can get ₕ₂ₒ because H, 2, and O exist in the current map. Type “CO2” and C stays ordinary beside ₒ₂. Prefer Subscript for short tokens that mostly use supported letters and digits. A full English sentence often comes back half ordinary, and that is expected.
Why this page is not the Small Text Generator
For compact capitals on the normal baseline, use the Small Text Generator, which also includes Superscript, Subscript, and two mixes. This superscript generator adds letters-only, numbers-only, and alternating maps for raised or lowered labels.
Super Letters and Super Numbers
Super Letters raise A–Z and a–z and leave digits and operators ordinary. Super Numbers raise 0–9 and + - = ( ) and leave letters ordinary. Use Super Numbers for “H2O” when you only wanted the 2 raised. Use Super Letters when the exponent look should stay on the word, not the count. Both reuse the same maps as this superscript generator’s full Superscript card.
Sub Letters, Sub Numbers, and the alternating cards
Sub Letters and Sub Numbers are the lowered pair of those filters. Super/Sub Alternate raises the first convertible character, lowers the next, and keeps going through letters, digits, and operators. Sub/Super Alternate starts lowered. Spaces, é, CJK, and emoji never advance the count. These six extras are not extra alphabets; they are views of the same Unicode maps on this superscript generator.
What converts
Which letters a superscript generator can raise
This superscript generator combines raised characters from several Unicode blocks to cover A–Z and a–z. Subscript has fewer mapped letters. Accented and other unmatched characters stay as typed; glyph support depends on the destination font.
Superscript digits 0–9 all convert, and so do Latin letters A–Z and a–z, including Q and q. Those two use later Unicode modifier letters, ꟴ and 𐞥, not the older ¹ ² ³ set. This superscript generator maps them; it does not leave ASCII Q or q in the result. Some destination fonts still omit those glyphs, so a box after paste means the other app cannot draw the character. This page will not swap in a phonetic phi or any other lookalike.
Many raised letters are phonetic modifier characters that happen to sit high, not the older ¹ ² ³ digits from Latin-1. In some fonts ² and ⁴ sit at slightly different heights or weights. That is a font drawing difference, not a second mode in this superscript generator. If a destination font lacks a modifier letter, you may see a box even though the digit ² still draws.
Subscript coverage is thinner. Lowered forms exist for a, e, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, r, s, t, u, v, x and the digits. Uppercase uses the same lowered glyphs when a match exists, so H becomes ₕ. Letters such as B, C, D, F, G, Q, W, Y, and Z stay ordinary. There is no subscript b, c, d, f, g, q, w, y, or z either. The map will not invent those letters.
ASCII plus, minus, equals, and parentheses map to their dedicated raised and lowered signs: ⁺ ⁻ ⁼ ⁽ ⁾ and ₊ ₋ ₌ ₍ ₎. Super Numbers and Sub Numbers on this superscript generator apply only those signs and digits. Type “H2O x2+3 Café 世界 😀”: letters with a mapping convert on the full cards, so Café becomes ᶜᵃᶠé on Superscript and Cₐfé on Subscript. The accented é, the CJK 世界, and the emoji stay as typed. A converter that deleted leftovers would fail that test.
Characters, not equations
Math and chemistry are examples, not typesetting
Use raised or lowered characters in plain-text fields. For semantic equations, use the destination editor’s equation or subscript controls.
“x2” becomes ˣ² on the full Superscript card. Use Super Numbers to leave letters normal. Neither option parses exponents or exports LaTeX or MathML.
Use Sub Numbers for H₂O or CO₂ while keeping letters normal. The output is a character string, not a chemical formula object.
A search for ASCII H2O or x2 may miss styled versions. Keep database keys, recovery spellings, and official names in ordinary letters.
Before you publish
Paste test, search, and accessibility
Screen readers may say “superscript two” rather than “squared.” Use ordinary words for essential information and navigation labels.
Counters may use UTF-16 units, code points, or grapheme clusters. Superscript q uses one code point but two UTF-16 units. Check the destination’s counter after pasting.
A short paste test
- Copy a short Latin sample such as x2 from this superscript generator.
- Paste it into the real field, save if the form requires a save, then reopen the field.
- Check boxes on newer superscript letters such as Q, and unmatched letters such as C on the Subscript card. If the mix looks broken, shorten the string.
- If you see boxes, try a shorter ASCII fallback. This superscript generator cannot install a glyph the destination font lacks.
- If the form refuses to save, stop. The destination rejected the characters; this superscript generator cannot override that rule.
Honest limits
Limits of this superscript generator
This superscript generator is a clipboard mapping tool. It does not shrink a font, typeset a paper, or guarantee that raised letters will display everywhere.
Conversion stays in this browser; input is neither uploaded nor stored. Favorites and Recent save style IDs for this site and browser only.
Size adjusts the preview from 18px to 36px, without changing copied characters.
Unmapped letters stay unchanged. Select numbers-only cards to preserve ordinary letters in a formula.
When you need compact capitals, open the Small Text Generator. When you need a wider aesthetic set, open the Aesthetic Font Generator. To compare every Unicode look, browse all fonts copy and paste styles. Those pages change the result set on purpose.

FAQ
Questions about this superscript generator
How does this superscript generator work?
It maps ordinary letters, digits, and a few ASCII operators to Unicode characters that already look raised or lowered. A superscript generator does not change the destination font size. You copy characters, not a size setting.
Does this superscript generator also create subscript?
Yes. The same input fills Superscript, Subscript, Super Letters, Super Numbers, Sub Letters, Sub Numbers, and two alternating cards. Copy the one whose baseline matches the job. This superscript generator does not merge those into one formula editor.
Why do some letters stay ordinary in the result?
Superscript maps Q and q to later modifier letters, which some fonts still lack. Subscript is missing many letters, including C in “CO2”. Characters this superscript generator cannot map stay as you typed them instead of being deleted or replaced with a lookalike.
Can I use this superscript generator for math or chemistry?
You can copy character examples such as x² or ₕ₂ₒ. This superscript generator does not understand formulas and does not promise that a paper or LMS will treat the result as an equation.
Does this superscript generator change font size?
No. The Size slider only changes the preview on this superscript generator. Copied text is still plain characters. If the destination looks larger or smaller, that app’s font is drawing the new code points.
Where can I paste the result?
You can paste into fields that accept Unicode text, such as a bio, caption, chat, or note. Whether a given character displays or saves depends on that app, device, and field. Always paste a test line first.
How is this different from the small text generator?
Small Text Generator compares five tiny looks, including Small Caps. This superscript generator is the dedicated raised-and-lowered tool with eight maps. Use Small when you want compact capitals; use this superscript generator when you already know you need superscript or subscript.
Why does this superscript generator show eight cards?
Full Superscript and Subscript stay first. The next six reuse those maps as letters-only, numbers-and-operators-only, and two alternating baselines so you can copy the slice you actually need.
Does Super/Sub Alternate invent extra Unicode?
No. This superscript generator still uses the same raised and lowered code points. It only chooses which character gets which map. Unsupported characters stay as typed.
Does this superscript generator upload what I type?
No. Conversion never leaves this tab. PasteFonts does not upload the input. The only local values are favorite and recently copied style IDs, which you can wipe by clearing site data for this origin.
