When to use a case converter

Eight buttons, and two different ideas of what a letter is

The eight conversions do not share one definition of a word, and that is the single most useful thing to know here. UPPER and lower hand the whole string to the browser's own Unicode case mapping, so every script and accent is handled properly. The other six first chop the text into runs of A-Z, a-z and 0-9, and anything outside that range is treated as a separator and thrown away.

So the same input can come out intact from one button and quietly mutilated by the next. The measurements below show exactly where the line falls.

Accented and non-Latin characters are deleted by six of the eight buttons

Measured on this page. The six affected conversions are camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, kebab-case, and by extension anything built from them:

UPPER and lower on the same inputs are faultless: café gives CAFÉ, 你好 world keeps its Chinese. Title Case is almost right, since it only touches the first character of each run, but it fails on a word that begins with an accent: élan vital gives éLan Vital, capitalising the second letter because the first is not one it recognises.

If your text is not plain English, use UPPER, lower or Title Case and check the others before you trust them. There is no warning when characters are dropped; the result simply looks like a shorter identifier.

Sentence case lowercases everything first, so acronyms do not survive

Sentence case works by converting the whole text to lower case and then capitalising the first letter after each full stop, question mark or exclamation mark followed by a space. Two consequences, both measured:

Acronyms and proper nouns are destroyed. NASA sent Dr. Smith to the ISS. He returned. comes back as Nasa sent dr. Smith to the iss. He returned. NASA became Nasa, ISS became iss, and the honorific became dr.

An abbreviation looks like the end of a sentence. In that same example the full stop in “Dr.” triggered a capital on “Smith”, which happens to be right here and would be wrong in “approx. four metres”. The rule cannot tell an abbreviation from a sentence ending, and no simple rule can.

Sentence case is therefore safe on text that is already plain lower case and lossy on anything else. If you have acronyms to keep, fix them by hand afterwards.

UPPER can make your text longer, and the character count shows it

Case conversion is not always one character in, one character out, because Unicode defines a few uppercase mappings that produce two letters. Measured, with the count the page reports underneath:

This is the Unicode standard behaving correctly rather than the tool misbehaving. The special casing data maps the sharp s to two S characters, and the fi ligature to F and I. It matters if you are converting text that has to fit a length limit, because UPPER is not a safe operation on a field that is already full.

Lowercasing can lengthen text too. The Turkish capital İ lowercases to an i followed by a separate combining dot, so İstanbul becomes a string that looks identical and is one character longer.

Punctuation inside words becomes a word boundary

Because the splitter keeps only letters and digits, every apostrophe, hyphen and underscore inside a word is a break. Measured:

Title Case has its own quirk worth knowing: it capitalises the first letter of every run and lowercases the rest, so o'brien becomes O'brien rather than O'Brien, and it does not know that short words like “to” and “the” are conventionally left lower case in headline style. Measured, NASA sent Dr. Smith to the ISS. gives Nasa Sent Dr. Smith To The Iss.

What this tool deliberately does not do

For counts of words and characters rather than a conversion, use Word Counter, which has its own definition of a word again and will not always agree with this page.

Every behaviour and every value on this page was measured against this tool as it is published, in a browser, on 14 October 2026, by pressing each of the eight buttons on each example in turn.

Frequently asked questions

Why did the accents disappear from my snake_case?

Because four of the conversions split the text into runs of English letters and digits only, and treat everything else as a separator. Measured, café au lait becomes caf_au_lait and élan vital becomes lan_vital. UPPER, lower and Title Case keep accents properly; camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case and kebab-case do not.

Which buttons are safe for text that is not English?

UPPER and lower, which use full Unicode case mapping and handle any script. Title Case is safe except for a word that starts with an accented letter: élan comes back as éLan, because the capitalisation lands on the first character it recognises rather than the first character.

Why did Sentence case turn NASA into Nasa?

Because it lowercases the entire text first and then capitalises after sentence endings. Acronyms and proper nouns have no protection, so NASA becomes Nasa and ISS becomes iss. Restore them by hand, or use Title Case if every word being capitalised is acceptable.

Can it tell an abbreviation from the end of a sentence?

No. Any full stop, question mark or exclamation mark followed by a space starts a new sentence as far as the rule is concerned, so “approx. four metres” gets a capital F. No simple pattern can do better, which is why the result is worth reading before you use it.

Why is my uppercase text longer than the original?

Because a few Unicode characters uppercase into two. Measured, straße is 6 characters and STRASSE is 7, and the ligature fish is 3 characters and FISH is 4. The character count under the result shows the new length. This matters if the text has to fit a limit.

Why does camelCase give me version2Beta instead of version2beta?

Digits stay attached to the letters next to them but still count as their own run when separated by a space, so version 2 beta produces three runs and the third is capitalised. snake_case on the same input gives version_2_beta.

Does Title Case follow headline style?

No. It capitalises every word, so sent to the ISS becomes Sent To The Iss. Headline conventions that leave short articles and prepositions in lower case are not implemented, and neither is any protection for words that should stay capitalised.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. Every conversion runs in your browser, nothing is stored between visits, and the text never leaves your device. The original stays in the top box so you can try a different button without pasting again.
