Small Caps Converter
Small caps are capital letters drawn at about the height of lowercase letters. This small caps converter replaces lowercase letters from a to z, except q and x, with Unicode small capital characters, so the look survives pasting into places where you cannot change the font, such as social media bios. Capital letters, numbers, and punctuation stay as typed.

Small Caps Converter rules
- Each lowercase letter from a to z is replaced with a Unicode small capital character (ᴀ, ʙ, ᴄ).
- Capital letters, numbers, and punctuation stay as typed, so a capital at the start of a word stays full height.
- The converter has no small capital for q or x: q becomes a full-size Q and x stays a regular x.
- Accented letters (é, ñ) and letters outside a to z stay as typed.
- The result is made of special characters, not a font style. Screen readers and search engines may not read them as ordinary letters, and some fonts do not include them.
How small caps differ from uppercase
Uppercase turns every letter into a full-size capital using ordinary letters that any font, screen reader, or search engine handles. Small caps from this tool look like short capitals but are special Unicode characters. In a document or web page, a font's small caps feature (CSS font-variant: small-caps) keeps ordinary letters and is the better choice. Try the same text in the Uppercase Converter.

Not reliably. Screen readers may read the characters oddly or skip them, and search engines may not match them to ordinary words. Use them for short decorative text only.
