A very handy online text tool where you can change between lower case and upper case letters, where you can capitalize, uncapitalize, convert to mix case and transform your text. Explore the options below:
Sentence Case
The sentence case converter will allow you to paste any text you’d like, and it will automatically transform it to a fully formed structured sentence.
It works by capitalizing the very first letter in each sentence, and will then go on to transform the rest of the text into lowercase as well as converting i’s into I’s. Every letter after a full stop will get converted into an upper case letter.
Note: it won’t, however, capitalize names or places.
This is an example of sentence case.
Lower Case
If you are wondering how to uncapitalize text, this is exactly what the lower case text converter will allow you to do - it transforms all the letters in your text into lowercase letters. Simply copy the text that you need generating into lower case and paste the text into the box above and select the ‘lower case’ tab.
this is an example of lower case.
Upper Case
The upper case transformer will take any text that you have and will generate all the letters into upper case ones. It will essentially make all lower case letters into CAPITALS (as well as keep upper case letters as upper case letters).
To do this, you simply have to select the text that you need changing and pasting into the box above and then select the UPPER CASE tab.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF UPPER CASE.
Capitalized Case
The capitalized case converter will automatically convert the starting letter of every word into an upper case and will leave the remaining letters as lower case ones.
Simply copy the content that you will like to generate into this format, then paste into the box form above and select the Capitalized Case tab.
This Is An Example Of Capitalized Case.
Alternating Case
The alternating case converter will allow you to transform your text (no matter the current format) into text that alternates between lower case and upper case. It will generate a capital letter and then a lower case letter within the same word.

Which is correct: lower case or lower case?
In everyday life, we usually talk about writing letters in large and small letters. Linguists, on the other hand, use the words uppercase and lowercase to designate the styles of letters in writing. Uppercase letters are large and lowercase letters are small. And what about the letters - uppercase and lowercase - large or small? Letter height. An uppercase letter differs from a lowercase letter in greater height, an uppercase letter is higher. You have already heard the accent with which I pronounce the word lower case, with the emphasis on the last syllable. It is with such an accent on the last syllable - a lowercase letter - that it is recommended to pronounce this word in strict speech. A capital letter is immediately visible in the text - it highlights the word, elevates it, and not only in the literal sense, but also figuratively.
Therefore, capital letters also have a special stylistic use - we write the pronouns "You", "Your" with a capital letter, expressing a courteous, polite attitude when referring to a specific person. There are also common words that can be capitalized. We write the words Motherland, Fatherland, Fatherland, Teacher, Good, Man with a capital letter in texts where we use these words in a special high sense. Such a special use of capital letters is reflected in the turnover with a capital letter - this is how we talk about someone, something worthy of the highest appreciation, admiration. Yakov Karlovich Grot, Russian linguist 19century, in the book "Russian Spelling" he wrote: Large letters constitute, in fact, the luxury of writing. Affordable and necessary luxury.

What do uppercase and lowercase letters mean
What are lowercase and uppercase letters? The examples are not always clear, so let's start with definitions:
Capital or lowercase letters are graphic characters used in writing that are larger than line boundaries. They are also called the big ones.
A lowercase letters are graphic characters that do not exceed the size of a line in writing. They are also called small letters.
The very name "capital letters" arose in Russian from the verb "prescribe".
In ancient texts there were no capital letters, all words were written from lowercase. And only at the beginning of the chapters, the first letter, which was called the “letter letter”, was depicted more than all the others. It was written by hand. Therefore, now capital letters are also called uppercase.
In Russian, every lowercase letter has a capital counterpart. Even "b", "y" and "b", although it is difficult to imagine where they can be used. However, not all experts support this opinion and prefer to consider that the Russian language has 33 lowercase and only 30 capital letters.
Another feature of the Russian language is that the spelling of large and capital letters does not always coincide. So, for example, the letter differs:
- capital " A " and lowercase " a ";
- capital " B " and lowercase " b ";
- capital " D " and lowercase " d ";
- capital " E " and lowercase " e " and some others.
Uppercase and lowercase letters in different languages
Capital letters are used in many languages of the Indo-European family: Greek, Slavic, Germanic and Romance.
What does the capital letter mean in these languages? It can mean the beginning of a new phrase, a proper name, a geographical name, and much more. Below we will analyze in detail in which cases a capital letter is written.
However, not all language systems can observe the use of capital letters. Hebrew, Arabic, Indian, Thai and other languages use only lowercase alphabetic characters.
There were no capital letters in the Glagolitic alphabet, the first Russian written language. Capital letters firmly came into use only in the 18th century and all thanks to the great reformer Peter I. He not only brought reforms to Russia, but also introduced a civil typeface that contained both small and large letters.
There are many words in Hebrew that are spelled the same but read differently and have different meanings.
For example, the word "דוד" can sound like "dod" and mean "uncle" , as "dud" - "bak" and as "David" - a male name. How do the Israelis understand where is the meaning? Exceptional context.
Uppercase and lowercase letters: spelling rules
Let's see what rules to follow when using uppercase and lowercase letters in Russian. And to make it easier to remember, let's give examples of uppercase and lowercase letters in words.
Capital letter at the beginning of a sentence
The basic rule is: always write a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence.
Example: It's easy to make a term paper. It is necessary to choose a topic, write the text and check for errors. Pay special attention to words with -Н- and -НН-, conjugation of verbs and spelling of particles "not" and "neither" with different parts of speech.
By the way! For our readers, there is now a 10% discount on any kind of work.
It is customary to capitalize not only the first word in standard sentences, but also each new line in poetic works. This rule works even when the author didn't finish the sentence:
Night, street, lamp, pharmacy,
Meaningless and dim light.
Live at least another quarter of a century -
Everything will be like this. There is no exit.
If you die, you start over again
And everything will repeat, as of old:
Night, ice ripples of the channel,
Pharmacy, street, lamp.
Alexander Blok
Capital letter in proper names
Another rule that always works: capital letters are written in proper names. It remains to figure out what applies to them.
Earth with a capital letter is a planet, and with a small one - a common nameProper names are the names of objects or phenomena that are unique and stand out from the general mass of homogeneous concepts.
On the contrary, common names are names that apply to entire groups of similar objects. Such nouns always begin with lowercase letters.
Let's look at specific cases when a capital letter is written in proper names. And also remember the exceptions, without which it is impossible to imagine the Russian language:
| Rule | Example | Exception |
| Surnames, first names and patronymics of people | Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, Pushkin, Mashenka, Marina Ivanovna. | If proper names are used as a common noun, they are written with a lower case: Pikapers are modern don Juans and womanizers. |
| In pseudonyms, nicknames and nicknames | Maxim Gorky, Bolbes and Experienced. | If nicknames are used for a whole group of people: Why are balls dangerous for society? |
| Animal names | Dolly the sheep, Barbos the dog, Murka the cat. | If the nickname is used as a common name for the group: In the morning, any watchdog barks just like that. |
| In the names of fairy-tale characters | Princess Nesmeyana Mermaid, Puss in Boots. | |
| In the names of gods | Jesus, Allah, Mara, Poseidon, Osiris, Quetzalcoatl. | The word itself "god" can be written with both capital and lowercase letters. In church texts, they often write with a capital letter, but in popular literature - with a small letter. |
| In religious names | Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Holy Scripture, Koran, Mother of God, Wailing Wall. | |
| Place names | Arctic Ocean, Kilimanjaro, New York, Serpukhovo. | |
| In street and avenue names | Alexander Nevsky Square, Tsvetochnaya Street, Raduzhny Lane. | |
| In the names of astronomical bodies and objects | Planet Venus, satellite of Jupiter, Halley's comet, Milky Way galaxy. | If this is not an astronomical object, but a homonym: planet Earth and native land. |
| In the names of historical eras and events | The Renaissance, the October Revolution, the War of the Scarlet and White Roses. | |
| In the names of holidays | Walpurgis Night, Independence Day, Victory Day, First of May, but May 1st. | If this is the date of the holiday, then it is written with a small one: The New Year is celebrated on December 31st. |
| In the names of awards | Title of Hero of Russia, Order of the Legion of Honor, but Order of the Red Star. | |
| In legal official names of companies and brands that are quoted | Suzuki Auto Concern, Gorbunov's Bureau creative agency, Orlovsky Park Hotel. | The name is not quoted if it is written in Latin letters: Hilton hotel, Pixies creative agency, BMW concern. |
| In the names of organizations and institutions | Federation Council, United Nations, European Union. | |
| In the names of unique titles and positions | President of the Russian Federation, Prime Minister. | All other positions are written with a small one: NATO Secretary General, EU Minister, Bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church. |
| Abbreviated | CIS, IAEA, UN, PE, MIA, USA. | Some abbreviations are always written with a small letter: university, secondary school, dot, bunker, bum, interim, spa. |
| In the titles of scientific articles, literary titles and other works | The novel "War and Peace", the fairy tale "The Scarlet Flower", the article "Why sleep should be a priority for every student". |
What are capital letters in street names? Examples may vary depending on the literary norm. So, in the names Chistye Prudy, Kuznetsky Most, Nikitsky Gates , only the first word was capitalized. Now the norm has changed and both words are capitalized: Chistye Prudy, Kuznetsky Most, Nikitsky Gates . If in doubt about spelling, refer to dictionaries.
Capital letter in adjectives
There are several cases in which adjectives are written with a capital letter, and they also need to be remembered:
- If the adjective expresses belonging to a particular person. For example, Misha's shirt, Vanka's stories.
- If the adjective refers to the memory of a famous person. For example, Pushkin Evenings, Spring Tolstoy Readings.
If the expression has become a common noun, then it is written with a lowercase letter: Sisyphean labor, Turgenev young ladies, oatmeal porridge.
Capital letter after colon
What other words are capitalized? Those with which direct speech begins. In the text, this is formalized as follows:
- the words of the author come first;
- then put a colon;
- in quotation marks write the words of direct speech.
Example: Ivanov sighed and said to the teacher: “You shouldn’t want to expel me for absenteeism, but I can refund my record book and student card.”
A special case: with what letter to write the appeal "YOU"
In official documents, letters and business correspondence, the appeal "YOU" and its derivatives are often written with a capital letter. It is believed that this form shows maximum respect for the interlocutor.
In letters to a respected person, it is appropriate to write "You" However, the rules of the Russian language do not impose strict norms. They recommend using "you" only if the author intentionally wants to emphasize his special relationship to a particular person.
