How Do I Capitalize All Letters In Google Docs?

To capitalize all letters in Google Docs, highlight the desired text, go to Format > Text > Capitalization, and then select UPPERCASE. This built-in feature allows you to instantly change the case of selected text without retyping.

How to change text to all caps

This process can be completed in a few quick steps on your desktop or mobile device.

On a computer

1. Select your text. Click and drag your mouse over the text you wish to capitalize. For a faster method, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+A (Windows/Chrome OS) or Cmd+A (Mac) to select all the text in the document.
2. Open the format menu. In the top menu bar, click the Format tab.
3. Navigate to capitalization. From the dropdown menu, hover over Text, and then hover over Capitalization in the side menu.
4. Choose "UPPERCASE". Click the UPPERCASE option from the final menu. Your selected text will immediately be converted to all capital letters.

On a mobile device

The process is similar on the Google Docs mobile app for Android and iOS.

1. Select your text. Tap and hold on a word to select it, then drag the blue handles to expand the selection to all the text you want to capitalize.
2. Open the format options. Tap the A with a few lines icon in the toolbar, typically located at the top or bottom of the screen.
3. Find the case options. In the menu that appears, go to the TEXT tab. Scroll down to find the Capitalization options.
4. Tap "UPPERCASE". Select UPPERCASE to convert your text.

Alternative methods for advanced needs

Using a Google Docs add-on

For users who frequently need more advanced case-changing features, such as "sentence case" or "title case" with more specific rules, a third-party add-on is a powerful solution.

1. Access the add-on store. In your Google Doc, go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons.
2. Search for a "case" add-on. Use the search bar to find an add-on like "Doc Tools" and click to install it.
3. Grant permissions. You will be asked to grant the add-on permission to access your Google account.
4. Use the add-on. After installation, refresh your document. You can now select text and access the new case-changing functions from the Extensions menu.

Using a third-party website

If you are dealing with a large block of text or prefer not to use add-ons, a case converter website is a quick solution.

1. Copy your text. Highlight and copy (Ctrl+C or Cmd+C) the text from your Google Doc.
2. Use a converter tool. Open a website with a text case converter, such as capitalizemytitle.com.
3. Paste and convert. Paste your text into the converter's text box and click the button to convert it to all uppercase.
4. Paste back into Docs. Copy the new, capitalized text and paste it back into your Google Doc.

Understanding capitalization options in Google Docs

Google Docs provides three simple capitalization options:

• lowercase: Converts all letters in the selected text to lowercase.
• UPPERCASE: Converts all letters in the selected text to capital letters.
• Title Case: Capitalizes the first letter of every word in the selected text, which is helpful for titles and headings.
