Text Case Formats Explained
UPPERCASE (All Caps)
All letters are converted to capital letters. Numbers and special characters remain unchanged.
Example: "hello world" → "HELLO WORLD"
Common uses: Headlines, acronyms, titles for emphasis, legal documents, urgent messages, code constants.
lowercase (All Small)
All letters are converted to lowercase. Numbers and special characters remain unchanged.
Example: "HELLO WORLD" → "hello world"
Common uses: Code syntax, email addresses, URLs, hashtags, casual writing, variable names in programming.
Title Case
The first letter of each word is capitalized, and the remaining letters are lowercase. Small words like "and", "the", "or", and "in" may remain lowercase depending on style guides.
Example: "hello world" → "Hello World"
Common uses: Book titles, article headlines, page titles, document headings, proper nouns, formal document titles.

Only the first letter of the sentence is capitalized. The rest of the sentence is lowercase. Proper nouns and acronyms retain their capitalization where appropriate.
Example: "HELLO WORLD" → "Hello world"
Common uses: Paragraphs in articles, regular sentences, email body text, social media posts, document content.
Capitalized Case (PascalCase with Spaces)
The first letter of each word is capitalized, similar to Title Case, but treats each word as an independent entity.
Example: "hello world example" → "Hello World Example"
Common uses: Class names in programming, database object names, headings, captions, product names, formal declarations.
When to Use Each Case Format
UPPERCASE: Use for emphasis, acronyms (NASA, FBI), legal notices, urgent alerts, constant names in code, or when you need maximum visibility.
lowercase: Use for URLs, email addresses, code variables, hashtags, casual writing, or when you want a minimalist aesthetic.
Title Case: Use for book/movie titles, article headlines, formal headings, document titles, and when you need professional appearance.
Sentence case: Use for regular prose, body text, emails, social media captions, and everyday communication where sentences flow naturally.
Capitalized Case: Use for programming identifiers, formal declarations, product/brand names, and technical documentation.
