# Lowercase

### What It Does

Converts all characters in a text string to lowercase (small letters). This helps create consistent text formatting or normalize user input for comparisons.

### Inputs

| Name  | Description                      | Type   | Required |
| ----- | -------------------------------- | ------ | -------- |
| value | The text to convert to lowercase | String | Yes      |

### Outputs

| Name  | Description                  | Type   |
| ----- | ---------------------------- | ------ |
| value | The converted lowercase text | String |

### How to Use It

1. Drag the Lowercase node into your graph.
2. Connect a text string (like `"Hello World"`) to the "value" input.
3. Run the graph—your output will be `"hello world"`.
4. Special characters and numbers remain unchanged.

### Tips

* Lowercase is particularly useful for normalizing text for case-insensitive comparisons.
* It's often used for body text, URLs, and email addresses in design systems.

### Use Cases

* **Text Normalization**: Standardize text from different sources for consistent display.
* **Search Terms**: Process search inputs for case-insensitive matching.
* **Design System Text**: Ensure consistent casing for body copy, captions, or labels.
