Free Superscript Generator (Copy Paste)
This free superscript generator converts normal text into Unicode raised characters you can copy and paste: x², m², E=mc², and footnote markers ¹ ² ³. It is real Unicode, not Word-only formatting, so the exponent survives chat, email, and slides.
Choose Superscript below (already selected). Use Formula mode if only digits after letters should rise (x2 → x²). Need a ready table of ⁰–⁹ and footnotes? See superscript numbers copy paste. For lowered chemistry numbers (H₂O), use the subscript generator. For Instagram tiny letters, use the small text generator.
Type x2 or 1 in the superscript generator, click Copy, and paste.
Chips use Superscript. For H₂O-style chemistry, open the subscript generator.

Superscript uses real Unicode (² ³ ¹ ⁰–⁹). Bold and Italic only apply when pasting into Word or Google Docs. For chemistry (H₂O), use the subscript generator.

How do I copy and paste superscript text?
Type x2, m2, or 1 in the tool (Superscript is already selected), click Copy, and paste. You get real Unicode raised characters (x², m², ¹), so the exponent travels with the text instead of breaking when you move it to another app.
- Convert normal text to superscript in seconds.
- Copy the superscript output with a single click.
- Paste into Word, Google Docs, PowerPoint, WhatsApp, Discord, and email.
How do I type or make superscript?
This superscript generator is the fastest way when you need the same raised character in more than one app. Type the plain version (x2 or 1), keep Superscript selected, then copy. Formula mode raises only digits after letters (x2 → x², E=mc2 → E=mc²).
Inside Word or Google Docs you can also use built-in shortcuts. Use Unicode from this page when you need the same x² or footnote ¹ in chat, email, or slides without reformatting.
- Keep Superscript selected in the converter above.
- Type
x2,m2,E=mc2, or a digit for a footnote. - Use Formula + Numbers Only: On if only the exponent should rise.
- Click Copy and paste.
Superscript examples (x², m², footnotes)
People often search for a superscript example or specifically superscript 2 (²). Generate these on the tool:
| Type this | Mode tip | Result |
|---|---|---|
2 | Superscript | ² |
x2 or m2 | Superscript or Formula | x² / m² |
E=mc2 | Formula + Superscript | E=mc² |
1 2 3 | Superscript | ¹ ² ³ |
0123456789 | Superscript | ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹ |
Superscript numbers copy paste
For a full set of superscript numbers, type 0123456789 and copy ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹. Need lowered digits for chemistry instead? Use the subscript generator or the subscript numbers & symbols guide.
Where can you use superscript?
- Exponents: x², y³, 10⁴
- Units: m², cm³ for area and volume in plain text
- Equations: E=mc² style text (Unicode, not LaTeX)
- Footnotes: ¹ ² ³ markers in Word, Docs, or slides
- WhatsApp and Discord: paste Unicode superscript into the chat
Word shortcuts: subscript and superscript in Word. Docs: Google Docs guide. PowerPoint: PowerPoint guide.
What is the opposite of superscript?
The opposite of superscript is subscript. Superscript sits above the baseline (powers, footnotes). Subscript sits below (chemistry indices like H₂O). For lowered chemistry numbers, use the subscript generator. For a short explainer, see what is superscript or subscript vs superscript.
Tips for clean superscript paste
- Paste as plain text when an app offers “Keep text only”—you still keep Unicode ² and ¹.
- If a character looks like a box (□), the font is missing that glyph; try Arial, Calibri, or Noto Sans.
- Not every letter has a Unicode superscript form. Numbers 0–9 and common math letters work best.
- Word or Docs font-dialog superscript often strips when you paste into chat. Unicode from this generator does not.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you make a superscript?
Keep Superscript selected, type x2 or 1, click Copy, and paste. You get Unicode characters such as x² or ¹.
What is a free superscript generator?
A superscript generator converts normal text into Unicode raised characters (like ² or ¹) you can copy and paste. This page is free in the browser with no signup.
How do I type superscript on a keyboard?
There is no universal keyboard key for superscript. Use this generator, or in Word use Ctrl + Shift + + (Windows) / Command + Shift + + (Mac). Unicode paste works in more apps than the Word shortcut.
How do I get superscript numbers copy paste?
Type 0123456789, keep Superscript selected, and copy the output ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹. For a single raised 2, type 2 and copy ².
What is a superscript example?
Common examples: x² (squared), m² (square meters), E=mc², and footnote markers ¹ ² ³.
What is the opposite of superscript?
The opposite of superscript is subscript. Superscript sits above the line (x²); subscript sits below (H₂O). Use the subscript generator for chemistry.
Does superscript work in WhatsApp?
Yes. Paste Unicode superscript from this generator into WhatsApp. It is plain text, not Word formatting, so it usually displays correctly on modern phones.
Should I use a Word shortcut or Unicode superscript?
Use Word or Docs shortcuts when you stay inside that app. Use Unicode from this generator when you need the same exponent or footnote marker in chat, email, or slides without reformatting.
Is this superscript generator free?
Yes. Free to use, runs in the browser, works offline after the first load. No signup.
Is the output Unicode or HTML?
This tool outputs Unicode characters (real text), not HTML tags like <sup>. Unicode copies correctly into Word, Google Docs, WhatsApp, and most modern apps.
