When a Text Case Converter Is Useful
Examples of when changing text to uppercase, lowercase, title case or sentence case can save editing time.
In this guide
Cleaning copied text
Text copied from a spreadsheet, old document or another system can arrive in an awkward mixture of capitalisation. A case converter can give you a consistent starting point before you edit the details.
Headings and labels
Uppercase is sometimes useful for labels, while sentence or title-style capitalisation can make headings easier to read. Choose the case based on the purpose rather than applying the same style to everything.
Check names and acronyms
Automatic conversion cannot know that “eBay”, “iPhone”, “MRA” or a person’s surname has a special spelling. Always scan the converted result for proper names, abbreviations and brand names.
Conversion is an editing aid
The tool changes the pattern of capital letters; it does not understand the meaning of your writing. Treat the result as a first pass and make the final editorial decisions yourself.
