Convert Text Case

Text case conversion changes capitalization instantly for proper formatting. Our free converter handles uppercase, lowercase, title case, sentence case, and alternating styles for documents, headings, and creative text needs.

Pro Tips for Text Case Conversion Success

• Use title case for headings and titles – Capitalizes major words while keeping articles and prepositions lowercase for professional appearance.
• Apply sentence case for natural readability – Capitalizes only first letter of sentences, creating easy-to-read body text.
• UPPERCASE sparingly for emphasis – ALL CAPS appears as shouting. Reserve for warnings, acronyms, or dramatic emphasis only.
• Convert accidental caps lock typing – Quickly fix text written with caps lock enabled by converting to appropriate case.
• Check proper nouns after conversion – Automatic conversion may lowercase proper nouns. Manually capitalize names, places, and brands.
• Use alternating case for creative/playful content – aLtErNaTiNg CaSe works for memes and casual social media, not professional communication.
• Lowercase for casual digital communication – lowercase text appears relaxed and friendly in casual messaging contexts.
• Title case rules vary by style guide – AP, Chicago, MLA have different title capitalization rules. Adjust manually for specific style requirements.

Common Text Case Conversion Myths Debunked

Myth: Title case capitalizes every word

Fact: Proper title case keeps articles (a, an, the), short prepositions (in, on, at), and conjunctions (and, but, or) lowercase unless they’re first or last words.

Myth: UPPERCASE makes text more important

Fact: ALL CAPS appears as shouting online and reduces readability. Bold or proper emphasis techniques convey importance better than uppercase.

Myth: lowercase text is always wrong

Fact: In casual digital communication, lowercase creates relaxed, friendly tone. Context determines appropriateness, not absolute rules.

Myth: Case conversion always produces correct results

Fact: Automated conversion doesn’t understand context. Proper nouns, acronyms, and special terms require manual review after conversion.

Myth: Sentence case and lowercase are the same

Fact: Sentence case capitalizes first letters of sentences and proper nouns. True lowercase has no capitals at all.
