Text Transform

Quick reference

Basic usage

Transforming text

The uppercase and lowercase will uppercase and lowercase text respectively, whereas capitalize utility will convert text to title-case. The normal-case utility can be used to preserve the original casing — typically to reset capitalization at different breakpoints.

<p class="normal-case ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
<p class="uppercase ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
<p class="lowercase ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
<p class="capitalize ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>

Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:uppercase to only apply the uppercase utility on hover.

<p class="capitalize hover:uppercase">
  <!-- ... -->
</p>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:uppercase to apply the uppercase utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<p class="capitalize md:uppercase">
  <!-- ... -->
</p>
