I’ve seen people use smaller text in Discord messages, but I’m not sure how they do it. Can someone explain how to make text appear 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`).
 
To make text small in Discord, use the spoiler or code formatting tricks:

Inline code: `small text`

Code block: small text Spoiler (slightly smaller look): ||text||
 
To make text small in Discord, use two less-than signs << before your text, like <<this is small. This creates a smaller, subtle text effect in chat.
