Despite its usefulness, Canva lacks a built-in tool for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, worry not, as there is a way around this through the text generators. If it doesn\u2019t work well for you, we have also included an approach that involves manually arranging text to mimic superscripts and subscripts in Canva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_86 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">What we cover<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-do-superscript-and-subscript-in-canva\/#Type_Superscripts_and_Subscripts_using_Text_Generators\" >Type Superscripts and Subscripts using Text Generators<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-do-superscript-and-subscript-in-canva\/#Manually_Type_Superscripts_and_Subscripts\" >Manually Type Superscripts and Subscripts<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-do-superscript-and-subscript-in-canva\/#Wrapping_Up\" >Wrapping Up<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"type-superscripts-and-subscripts-using-text-generators\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Type_Superscripts_and_Subscripts_using_Text_Generators\"><\/span>Type Superscripts and Subscripts using Text Generators<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start by opening the project you\u2019re working on from the <strong>Recent designs<\/strong> on the Canva home screen.
