Use this tool to convert small letter to capital letter text in one step. Type or paste your text in the box above. The tool changes each small letter (a, b, c) to a capital letter (A, B, C) immediately. Then click Copy text. You do not have to type the text again.
Change Small Letters to Capital Letters
Paste text in small letters. The tool shows the same text in capital letters. Numbers, spaces, punctuation and emoji do not change.
Input:
please call me back before 5 pm. thank you!
Output (ALL CAPS):
PLEASE CALL ME BACK BEFORE 5 PM. THANK YOU!
The tool also changes letters with accents and letters from other alphabets that have capital letters:
café · straße · привет → CAFÉ · STRASSE · ПРИВЕТ
Choose Which Letters Become Capitals
Below the text box, select one of three options:
| Option | What changes | Example result |
|---|---|---|
| ALL CAPITALS | Every small letter | PLEASE CALL ME BACK. THANK YOU! |
| Each Word | The first letter of each word | Please Call Me Back. Thank You! |
| First letter | The first letter of each sentence and "I" | Please call me back. Thank you! |
"Each Word" and "First letter" change only the first letters. The other letters stay as you typed them.

Capital Letters in Word, Google Docs and Excel
You can also change small letters to capital letters in other apps:
- Microsoft Word: Select the text and press Shift+F3. Each press changes the case: UPPERCASE, lowercase, then Capitalize Each Word. On a Mac, press Fn+Shift+F3. You can also click Home > Change Case (Aa) > UPPERCASE.
- Microsoft Outlook: Select the text and press Shift+F3.
- Google Docs: Select the text. Click Format > Text > Capitalization > UPPERCASE.
- Excel and Google Sheets: Type
=UPPER(A1)in an empty cell to change the text in cell A1 to capital letters. Type=PROPER(A1)to capitalize the first letter of each word. - iPhone and Android keyboards: Tap the Shift key two times to turn on Caps Lock. On iPhone, make sure that Settings > General > Keyboard > Enable Caps Lock is on.
These methods work in one app only. This tool works for text from any app, and you can paste the result anywhere.
When to Use Capital Letters
- Forms and documents: Some forms tell you to write your name and address in capital letters (BLOCK LETTERS).
- Headings and signs: Short headings, labels and buttons in capital letters are easy to see.
- Codes and IDs: Product codes, booking references and postcodes often use capital letters only.
- Programming: Constants and environment variables use capital letters. For names such as
API_KEY, use the screaming snake case converter.
Do not write long text in capital letters. Text in ALL CAPS is difficult to read, and many people read it as shouting.
Common Mistakes
- Text in capital letters that you must change back. Use the all caps to sentence case converter. It changes the text back to normal sentences and keeps acronyms such as USA.
- Fancy letters that do not change. Some "fonts" from font generators are Unicode symbols, not letters. They do not have capital forms. Convert them to normal letters first with the Unicode to NonUnicode converter.
- The letter ß becomes SS. In German, ß has no traditional capital letter, so the capital form is SS. This is correct, but the text becomes one character longer.
- Hidden formatting in pasted text. Text from web pages or emails can have invisible characters. Remove them with the text cleaner first.
