When people use a case converter

    Move a variable name from SQL style to JavaScript style. Paste SQL_COLUMN_NAME, click camelCase, get sqlColumnName.

  • Create clean URL slugs

    Turn "My Great Blog Post Title!" into "my-great-blog-post-title". Kebab-case is what Google and every CMS expect.

Case converter questions

How do I convert uppercase to lowercase?

Paste your text into the box at the top of this page, then click the "lowercase" button. Every capital letter becomes a small letter instantly. The conversion happens in your browser as you click, with no button to press and no page reload.

How do I change capital letters to small letters?

Paste your text and click "lowercase". Every capital letter turns into a small letter instantly. This also works for ALL CAPS text, or a paragraph typed with Caps Lock on.

What is the shortcut to change uppercase to lowercase?

In Microsoft Word, select the text and press Shift+F3 to cycle between UPPERCASE, lowercase and Capitalize Each Word. In Google Docs, use Format, then Text, then Capitalization, then lowercase. Anywhere else, paste your text into this converter.

How do I convert lower case to upper case?

Paste your text, then click the "UPPERCASE" button. Every letter becomes capital. This is useful for warnings, acronyms, and anything that needs to stand out in a document.

How do I convert caps to lowercase in Excel?

Excel does not have a built-in "change case" menu, but you can use the formula =LOWER(A1) in a spare column, then copy the result and paste it back as values. Alternatively, paste your Excel cell contents into this page, click lowercase, and paste the result back into Excel.

How do I convert upper case to lower case on a Mac?

Select your text and use the menu Format, then Text, then Lowercase in most Mac apps. Or paste into this page and click lowercase. The browser tool works even in apps that do not have their own case menu, like some code editors and web forms.

How do I convert upper case to lower case on Windows?

Windows does not have a system-wide case menu. In Microsoft Word, press Shift+F3 to cycle through UPPERCASE, lowercase and Title Case. In other apps, paste into this page, click lowercase, and paste back.

What is the difference between Title Case and Sentence case?

Title Case capitalises the first letter of most words: "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps." Sentence case capitalises only the first letter of each sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps." Use Title Case for headings and Sentence case for normal writing.

What is camelCase?

camelCase joins words and capitalises every word except the first: "helloWorldExample". The name comes from the humped capital letters that look like a camel. It is the standard naming style for variables in JavaScript, Java and Swift.

What is PascalCase?

PascalCase capitalises the first letter of every word and joins them without separators: "HelloWorldExample". It is the standard naming style for class names in most languages, for React components, and for types in C# and TypeScript.

What is snake_case?

snake_case joins words with underscores and keeps everything lowercase: "hello_world_example". It is the standard naming style in Python, Ruby and SQL. The name comes from the underscore characters that look like a snake crawling on the ground.

What is kebab-case?

kebab-case joins words with hyphens and keeps everything lowercase: "hello-world-example". The name comes from the hyphens that look like a skewer going through a kebab. It is the standard for URLs, CSS class names and file names.

What is CONSTANT_CASE?

CONSTANT_CASE is snake_case with every letter capitalised: "HELLO_WORLD_EXAMPLE". It is used for values that do not change, like environment variables and constants. In JavaScript it is written const MAX_RETRIES = 5;.

What is alternating case?

Alternating case, sometimes called SpongeBob case or studly caps, alternates between lowercase and uppercase: "hElLo WoRlD". It is almost always used for the meme format. No serious text uses it.

What is inverse case?

Inverse case swaps the case of every letter. All capitals become lowercase and all lowercase becomes capitals. Useful when you typed text with the wrong Shift key held down: "hELLO" becomes "Hello".

Does the case converter store my text?

No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to a server, never logged, and never stored anywhere. You can verify this by opening your browser network tab while using the tool.

Is there a character limit?

No. There is no fixed limit. You can paste a single word or an entire novel. The practical limit is your device memory, which for text is essentially unlimited on any modern device.

Is this case converter really free?

Yes. Every case mode is free to use with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. ToolDeck may show ads to pay for hosting, but they never lock a feature.
