Fix text typed in ALL CAPS: convert to sentence case, title case or lowercase

Paste the text into the case converter, tap Sentence case for normal writing or Title Case for a heading, and copy the result. Your punctuation and spacing stay exactly where they were; only the letters change.

Steps

1. Open the case converter and paste your text into Your text.
2. Tap a case. Each button is written in its own case, so you can see what it does before you press it. Title Case is selected when the page opens.
3. Read the Result box below. It updates as you type and every time you tap a different case.
4. Press Copy and paste the result where you need it.

The writing cases

There is also a set of code cases (camelCase, snake_case and others) for variable names, covered in the guide on camelCase, snake_case and kebab-case.

How Title Case decides

Title Case here follows a simple, fixed rule. It is not AP, APA, Chicago or any named style guide.

• Every word is lowercased, then its first letter is capitalised.
• These words stay lower case when they sit in the middle of a title: a, an, and, as, at, but, by, for, if, in, nor, of, off, on, or, per, so, the, to, up, via, vs, yet.
• The first word of each sentence and the last word are always capitalised, even when they are on that list.
• Brand-style words with one capital inside, such as iPhone, eBay or YouTube, are kept exactly as typed.

If your publication follows a style guide that treats longer prepositions differently (for example "Between" or "Through"), adjust those few words by hand after converting.

Where it gets names wrong, and the fix

Sentence case lowercases everything except the start of a sentence. It does not know which words are names, so text that arrived in capitals loses its proper nouns:

MEET PRIYA IN LONDON ON MONDAY. becomes Meet priya in london on monday.

Fix the names by hand after converting; it is quicker than retyping the whole text. Names written with a capital inside, such as iPhone or McDonald, are recognised and kept.

Two more things to know:

• A sentence starts at the beginning of the text or after ., ! or ? followed by a space. An abbreviation such as "e.g." followed by a space makes the next word start a sentence, so it gets a capital.
• Words joined like code, such as getUserName, are split into separate words in Title Case and Sentence case (Get User Name). A single capital inside a word, as in iPhone, is left alone.

Everyday jobs

• An email or form typed with caps lock on. Paste it, tap Sentence case, fix names, copy.
• A heading for a slide, video or blog post. Tap Title Case. For a YouTube title, check it fits 100 characters in the word counter.
• A spreadsheet column of names in capitals. Paste the column, tap Title Case: each line is converted in place, and line breaks are kept, so it pastes back into the same cells.
• A label or button that must be in capitals. Tap UPPERCASE.
• A file name or web address. Use the slug generator instead, which also removes spaces and accents.

Questions

Does it change my punctuation or spacing?

No. The writing cases only change letters. The exception is a code-style word like getUserName, which gains spaces between its parts in Title Case and Sentence case.

Does it work with accented letters and other alphabets?

Yes. Accented Latin letters, Greek and Cyrillic change case correctly. Scripts without capital letters, such as Chinese or Arabic, stay as they are.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser and the text stays on your device until you copy it.

Why is "alternating" there?

It produces the "mocking" style of text people use as a joke online. It starts with a lower-case letter and ignores spaces and punctuation, so the pattern does not shift.
