How to Make Text Small in Discord?

You can make text look small in Discord by using the “spoiler” or “subscript” markdown — type "^text" for subscript or use double pipes like "||text||" for a smaller, faded look.
 
To make text small in Discord, use the spoiler tag format. Type your message between double vertical bars like this: ||text||. Alternatively, use Discord’s zoom settings (Ctrl + -) to visually reduce text size across the app.
 
There are two common ways to make your text smaller in Discord:
  • Subtext: Start a new line and type the combination -# followed by a space, then your message (e.g., -# This text is smaller). This is a built-in markdown feature.
  • Code Block: Wrap text in single backticks (`) to put it in a small, gray inline code block (e.g., `this is small`).
