Case Conversion for Content Writers

Content writers fight casing constantly: a headline pasted in ALL CAPS, a title that needs proper title case, a subhead that should be sentence case per the style guide. Doing it by hand is slow and error-prone, especially with small words and edge cases that title-case rules treat specially.

This workflow helps writers and editors convert copy between cases correctly, check title capitalization against style rules, and keep headings consistent across a piece or a whole site.

The workflow

  1. 1

    Convert to the target case

  3. 3

    Fix sentence starts

    Capitalize the first letter of each sentence in longer passages.

  4. 4

    Standardize across the piece

    Apply consistent casing to every heading before publishing.

Pro tips

  • Pick one title-case style (AP or Chicago) for the whole publication and enforce it.
  • Sentence case often reads friendlier for subheads and UI copy — match your brand voice.
  • Convert pasted ALL CAPS to sentence case before editing so you can read for meaning.
