latex - How to reduce the size of captions in all figures -

i want captions of figures , table have same size \footnotesize. there put in preambule of document this?

use caption package set font key-value footnotesize:

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{caption} \captionsetup{font=footnotesize} \begin{document}  regular text set in \verb|\normalsize|. \begin{table}[t]   \caption{a table using \texttt{\string\footnotesize}.} \end{table} \begin{figure}[t]   \caption{a figure using \texttt{\string\footnotesize}.} \end{figure}  \end{document} 

it possible adjust label , text formats individually figures , tables separately. however, consistency better option here.
