Development & SEO
Developers convert text to code constants (SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE), variable names (camelCase), or class names (PascalCase). SEO specialists verify meta description lengths (155-160 chars) and title tag lengths (50-60 chars).
- • Generate code constants
- • Convert to camelCase/snake_case
- • Check meta description length

Understanding Case Conversion
Text case refers to the capitalization pattern of letters. Different cases serve different purposes — headlines use Title Case, constants use UPPERCASE, and body text uses sentence case. Understanding when to use each case improves readability and professionalism.
UPPERCASE
All letters capitalized
Use for: Acronyms, constants, emphasis, headers
lowercase
All letters lowercase
Use for: URLs, emails, variable names, file names
Title Case
First letter of each word capitalized
Use for: Headlines, titles, names, headings
Sentence case
First letter of sentence capitalized
Use for: Body text, paragraphs, captions
camelCase
No spaces, words joined with capitals
Use for: JavaScript variables, function names
snake_case
Words separated by underscores
Use for: Python variables, database columns

Frequently Asked Questions
Do spaces count as characters?
Yes, spaces are characters. Our counter shows both "characters" (including spaces) and "characters without spaces" so you can use whichever count your platform or assignment requires.
What's the difference between Title Case and Sentence case?
Title Case capitalizes the first letter of every word: "The Quick Brown Fox". Sentence case only capitalizes the first letter of each sentence: "The quick brown fox". Title Case is for headlines; Sentence case is for body text.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200-250 words per minute for average adult reading speed. Technical content might be slower (150 wpm), while casual content might be faster (300 wpm). Our calculator uses 200 wpm as a conservative estimate.
Is my text saved anywhere?
No. All text processing happens in your browser. We don't send your text to any server, don't store it, and don't log it. When you close the page, your text is gone from memory.
Does case conversion work with non-English text?
Yes! Our tools support Unicode, so case conversion works with French, German, Spanish, and other Latin-based languages with special characters (à, ü, ñ). Some languages like Chinese and Japanese don't have case distinctions.
