How to Convert Uppercase to Lowercase (Every Method)

Text typed in capitals by mistake, data exported in ALL CAPS, or a heading you want to restyle: there are several ways to change case without retyping.

Online, in one click

Paste the text into the NS Tools Hub case converter and click lower case or, more often, Sentence case, which lowercases everything and then capitalizes the start of each sentence. Copy the result back to wherever you need it.

Microsoft Word

1. Select the text.
2. Press Shift + F3 (on some laptops Fn + Shift + F3) to cycle through lowercase, UPPERCASE and capitalizing each word.
3. Or use Home > Change Case (Aa) and choose an option, including Sentence case.

Google Docs

Select the text, then choose Format > Text > Capitalization and pick lowercase, UPPERCASE or Title Case.

Excel and Google Sheets

Use a formula in a helper column:

• =LOWER(A1) converts to lowercase.
• =UPPER(A1) converts to uppercase.
• =PROPER(A1) capitalizes the first letter of each word.

Then copy the column and paste as values over the original data.

On a phone

Mobile keyboards do not usually convert existing text. The quickest method is to paste the text into an online converter in your browser, convert it and copy it back.

Which result do you want?

• lowercase for email addresses, tags and usernames.
• Sentence case for paragraphs typed with Caps Lock on.
• Title Case for headings, with a final check of short words.

After converting, re-capitalize names and acronyms such as "NASA" or "iPhone", which no automatic tool can always get right.
