FAQ

Does case conversion affect special characters?

No. Case conversion only affects letters (A-Z, a-z). Numbers, punctuation, spaces, and special characters remain unchanged.

What about accented letters?

Accented letters like é, ü, and ñ have uppercase equivalents (É, Ü, Ñ). The case converter handles these correctly.

Does the tool work with Unicode text?

Yes. The case converter supports Unicode characters, including accented letters, Cyrillic, Greek, and other alphabet systems that have case distinctions.

Why is title case sometimes inconsistent?

Title case rules vary by style guide. Our tool capitalizes every major word following standard title case rules. Some style guides (like AP) have specific rules for articles, prepositions, and conjunctions that may differ.

Can I convert large amounts of text?

Yes. The tool handles large text files efficiently. All processing is done in your browser, so performance depends on your device.

What is the difference between title case and sentence case?

Title case capitalizes every major word. Sentence case capitalizes only the first word and proper nouns. Use title case for formatted titles and headings; use sentence case for regular text.
