  3. Copy it, download it as a .txt file, or click another case if you need something different.

Why people convert to lower case

Fixing text typed with caps lock on

It happens to everyone. Converting to lower case is the quick first step. If you want capital letters back at the start of each sentence, use the sentence case converter instead, which does both in one go.

Cleaning up lists and spreadsheets

When you merge lists from different people, you often get "London", "LONDON" and "london" all meaning the same thing. Converting the column to lower case before you remove duplicates makes them match. Our duplicate line remover pairs nicely with this.

Tags, hashtags and usernames

Many sites treat tags as lower case anyway. Typing them that way from the start keeps everything tidy and easy to search.

Style choices

Some brands and designers use all lower case on purpose for a relaxed, friendly feel. If that is the look you are after, this saves you from retyping.

Small detail worth knowing

Lower case conversion follows Unicode rules, so it works for accented letters (É becomes é), Greek, Cyrillic and many other alphabets. Characters without a lower case form, like numbers and Chinese characters, are left alone.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change capital letters to small letters?

Paste your text into the box above. It is converted to lower case automatically. Then press Copy result.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for lower case?

In Microsoft Word, select the text and press Shift+F3 to cycle through cases. In Google Docs, go to Format, Text, Capitalization, lowercase. Most other apps do not have a shortcut, which is where this tool helps.

Will it change my numbers or punctuation?

No. Only letters are affected. Everything else stays the same.

Are email addresses case sensitive?

The part after the @ is never case sensitive. The part before it technically can be, but almost no email provider treats it that way. Saving addresses in lower case is a common habit that helps avoid duplicates.
