What is the difference between Title Case and sentence case?

Title Case capitalises the first letter of every word: 'How To Convert Text Case'. Sentence case capitalises only the first word of each sentence: 'How to convert text case'. Most modern style guides prefer sentence case for headings because it reads faster.

Does Title Case know to leave small words lowercase?

No — it capitalises every word, including 'a', 'of' and 'the'. Strict editorial title case leaves short articles and prepositions lowercase unless they start the title. If you are following AP or Chicago style, expect to fix a few small words by hand.

When should I use kebab-case instead of camelCase?

Use kebab-case anywhere the text might be lowercased by something outside your control: URLs, CSS class names, and filenames on case-insensitive filesystems. Use camelCase for JavaScript variables and object properties, where case is preserved and meaningful.

Will it handle accented characters and non-English text?

Upper and lowercase conversion uses your browser's Unicode-aware casing, so accented Latin characters convert correctly. kebab-case strips characters outside a-z, 0-9 and hyphens, so accents are removed there by design — that is what makes the result URL-safe.

About

What the Text Case Converter does

The three developer-oriented cases are the ones worth knowing. camelCase (`myVariableName`) is the JavaScript convention for variables and functions. kebab-case (`my-page-title`) is what URLs, CSS classes and filenames want, because it survives being lowercased by a server. Sentence case capitalises only the first letter of each sentence, which is the house style for headings at most modern publications.
