When sentence case is the right choice

Sentence case is the easiest style to read, which is why it is used for almost all body text. It is also becoming popular for headings and buttons. Google, Apple and the UK government all use sentence case for headings in their products and websites because it feels friendly and less shouty.

Use it for:

Fixing emails or messages typed with caps lock on
Cleaning up text copied from old documents or PDFs that were set in capitals
Website headings, buttons and menu items if your style is sentence case
Product descriptions you got from a supplier in all caps

What to check after converting

Sentence case gets you 95 percent of the way. The last step is a quick read for proper nouns: people's names, cities, days of the week, months and brand names. Acronyms like "USA" or "PDF" will also need their capitals back. If you are converting a headline and prefer the important words capitalized, the title case converter is a better fit.

Frequently asked questions

What is sentence case?

It is the way normal writing looks. The first letter of each sentence is a capital and everything else is lower case, except names and the word "I".

Does it capitalize names like London or Sarah?

No. A computer has no reliable way to know which words are names, so they come out in lower case. Read the result and capitalize names yourself. It only takes a few seconds.

Does it fix the word "i" on its own?

Yes. A lone "i" becomes "I", including in contractions like "I'm" and "I've".

How does it know where a sentence ends?

It looks for a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark followed by a space, and for new lines. Abbreviations such as "e.g." can occasionally trigger an extra capital, so check those.
