About the Sentence Case Converter

The Sentence Case Converter transforms your text into proper sentence case format, where only the first letter of each sentence and proper nouns are capitalized. This natural, readable text format is the standard for body text, paragraphs, and general writing across virtually all content types.

What Is Sentence Case?

Sentence case is the conventional capitalization style used in everyday writing. It follows standard English grammar rules:

  • First word of each sentence is capitalized
  • Proper nouns (names of people, places, organizations) remain capitalized
  • All other words are lowercase
  • The pronoun "I" is always capitalized

Why Convert Text to Sentence Case?

You might need sentence case conversion when:

  • Fixing ALL CAPS text - Convert shouting text to normal readable format
  • Normalizing copied content - Standardize text from various sources
  • Reformatting titles to body text - Convert headlines for use in paragraphs
  • Cleaning up OCR text - Fix capitalization errors from scanned documents
  • Standardizing data imports - Normalize database entries and spreadsheet content

Sentence Case vs Title Case

Understanding when to use each format is crucial for professional writing:

  • Sentence case: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" - Used for body text, paragraphs, and general content
  • Title case: "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog" - Used for headlines, titles, and headings

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sentence case formatting?

Sentence case is the standard capitalization style where only the first letter of a sentence and proper nouns are capitalized. It's the natural way we write paragraphs, body text, and general content in English, making text easy to read and professionally formatted.

When should I use sentence case vs title case?

Use sentence case for body paragraphs, general text content, descriptions, and anywhere you want natural, readable text. Use title case for headlines, article titles, book titles, and headings where you want text to stand out and appear formal.

Will this converter preserve proper nouns?

Our basic sentence case converter lowercases all text and capitalizes sentence beginnings. Proper nouns (names of people, places, brands) will need manual capitalization as automatic proper noun detection requires complex natural language processing.

How does the converter detect sentence endings?

The converter identifies sentence boundaries using punctuation marks: periods (.), exclamation marks (!), and question marks (?). The first letter following these punctuation marks and any whitespace is automatically capitalized.

Can I convert text from multiple languages?

Yes, the converter works with any text using Latin characters. However, capitalization rules vary by language, so results are optimized for English. Some languages like German have different noun capitalization rules that won't be applied.

Is my text stored or transmitted anywhere?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device, making this tool completely safe for confidential content, personal writing, and sensitive documents.
