how to make text small in discord

To make text appear small in Discord, you have several methods:

1. Using Discord's Built-in Subtext Formatting

• Type -# followed by a space, then your message.
• When you send it, Discord converts the text into a very small "subtext" style.
  This is the smallest built-in font size Discord offers for text messages

Example:

-# This text will appear tiny

2. Using Superscript for Small Text

• Surround the text you want small with carets ^ for small snippets.

• For entire sentences, use backticks with sup like:

  `sup your message here`
  

This makes the text appear in superscript, which looks smaller than normal text

. Example:

This is ^small text^ in Discord
`sup This whole sentence is small`

3. Using Third-Party Small Text Generators

• Use online Unicode small text generators to convert your normal text into small or superscript Unicode characters.
• Copy and paste the generated text into Discord.
  This method offers more font style options beyond Discord's native formatting

4. Adjusting Font Size in Discord Settings (Affects All Text)

• Go to User Settings > Appearance > Chat Font Scaling.
• Use the slider to reduce the font size globally (minimum 12 pixels).
  This changes the size of all chat text on your client but does not affect how others see your messages
