Six pieces of printing type in a row on a platen that rises and falls between two columns. Each piece carries a letter on its top face. On the right, a key that goes down as the platen goes up. Enter, Space or the arrow keys move from one step to the next.

Platen and key: shift the case up and downSix pieces of type, one per letterIn a print shop, capital letters were kept in the upper case and small letters in the lower one, which is where the names come from. The platen rises to set the whole word in capitals and stops halfway for title case, with only the first letter capitalised.

  1. Type or paste the text you want to change.
  2. Click the case you need: uppercase, lowercase, title case or sentence case.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between title case and sentence case?

Title case capitalises the first letter of every word. Sentence case capitalises only the first letter of each sentence, as in ordinary text.

Does it work with accented letters?

Yes. Letters such as “é”, “ñ” or “ü” are converted to their matching capital or small letter and keep their accent.

Can I undo a change?

You can apply another case to the same text as many times as you like. If you turn everything into uppercase or lowercase, the original capitalisation is lost.

What each case does

The typical situation is a text typed with Caps Lock on, or a list copied from a spreadsheet or a PDF that arrives in all caps. Instead of typing it again, you paste it and choose how you want it.

Title case capitalises the first letter of every word, which is useful for names or for headlines. Sentence case leaves a capital only at the start of each sentence, which is how ordinary text is written.

Accents, names and opening punctuation

Accented letters are converted like any other: “é” becomes “É”, “ñ” becomes “Ñ” and “ü” becomes “Ü”, and back again. That matters for names and for words borrowed from other languages, such as “café” or “naïve”.

Opening punctuation (quotation marks, brackets, or the Spanish “¿” and “¡”) does not count as the first letter: in sentence case, “(hello there)” becomes “(Hello there)”. Proper nouns cannot be detected automatically, and neither can the small words that style guides leave in lowercase in titles, so it is worth checking them after converting.
