How it works

Each capital letter is swapped for its small-letter form; everything else is left exactly as it was, including spacing, punctuation and line breaks. It uses the Unicode rules for case, so it works for accented letters and other alphabets as well as A to Z.

Your original text is never changed. Pick a different case to compare, or press “Original” to see what you pasted.

Examples

You pastelowercaseSentence case
PLEASE REPLY BY FRIDAY.please reply by friday.Please reply by friday.
I THINK SO. DO YOU?i think so. do you?I think so. Do you?
CAFÉ AU LAITcafé au laitCafé au lait

Notice “friday”: no converter can know which words are names, so check days, places and people after converting. Going the other way? Uselowercase to uppercase.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change uppercase to lowercase without retyping?
Paste your text into the box. It is converted to lowercase straight away; press “Copy result” and paste it back where it came from. Your original stays in the box in case you need it.
I typed with Caps Lock on. Which option should I use?
Usually Sentence case, not lowercase. Lowercase removes every capital, including the ones at the start of each sentence. Sentence case puts those back, and capitalises “I” on its own. Names still need fixing by hand.
Is there a keyboard shortcut instead?
In Microsoft Word, select the text and press Shift+F3 to cycle through lowercase, UPPERCASE and Capitalized. Google Docs has Format → Text → Capitalization. Most other apps have no shortcut, which is where this page helps.
Does it work with accented letters?
Yes. “ÉCOLE” becomes “école”, and Greek, Cyrillic and other alphabets with capitals convert correctly too.
