How to convert text to sentence case

What sentence case does
- Capitalizes the first letter after a period, question mark, exclamation mark or line break.
- Lowercases every other letter, so “THE REPORT IS READY” becomes “The report is ready”.
- Always capitalizes the pronoun “I” and contractions like “I'm” and “I'll”.
- With Keep acronyms on, words like NASA, iPhone and Q3 stay as typed. Lines written entirely in capitals are treated as shouting, and their words are lowercased.
Sentence case vs title case
Sentence case capitalizes only the first word and proper nouns: “How to write a cover letter”. Title case capitalizes most words: “How to Write a Cover Letter”. Sentence case is the house style of many news sites, government websites and apps because it reads more naturally. Google's and Microsoft's style guides both recommend sentence case for headings and buttons. Use the title case converter if your style guide asks for title case.
One thing to check
A converter can't tell that “friday”, “london” or “sarah” are proper nouns, so they end up lowercase. Read the result once and capitalize names, places, days and months by hand.
Frequently asked questions
Does it keep my line breaks?
Yes. Each line is converted separately, and the first word of every line is capitalized.
Will it fix punctuation?
No, only capitalization changes. Use the text cleaner to fix spacing and line breaks, or the grammar checker for punctuation.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser.
