What snake_case Is Good For

snake_case is practical because it’s readable, stable, and doesn’t care about spaces:

  • Python variables and function names send email remindersend_email_reminder

  • Database columns and exports Turn messy headers into consistent field names before importing data.

  • Config keys and system labels Works well in YAML/JSON keys, feature flags, and internal identifiers.

  • Filenames that won’t break scripts invoice january 2026.pdfinvoice_january_2026.pdf

Note: For URLs, use Slug (or kebab-case). Hyphens are easier to scan in links, and slugs handle punctuation + trimming in a web-friendly way.


Examples

Common conversions

  • Hello worldhello_world
  • API key v2api_key_v2
  • Room 12A check-in timeroom_12a_check_in_time
  • already_snake_casealready_snake_case

From separators

  • image-resizer toolimage_resizer_tool
  • product.price.usdproduct_price_usd
  • userNameuser_name

Multi-line lists

Input:

blog post title
primary button color
utm campaign name

Output:

blog_post_title

utm_campaign_name

Use Cases

  • Developers Convert human-readable phrases into Python-style names, config keys, and safe identifiers.

  • Marketing ops Standardize event names, spreadsheet headers, and internal labels so reporting stays consistent.

  • Data cleanup Turn CSV column headers into predictable database fields before imports or migrations.

  • Content workflows Create filename conventions for assets, exports, and content batches (especially when you’re zipping and shipping lots of files).


Tips for Best Results

  • Treat this as “make it safe + consistent” snake_case is great for internals, but it’s not meant to look pretty in user-facing copy.

  • Watch for team conventions Some teams prefer api_key, others prefer API_key or apiKey. This converter aims for predictable lowercase snake_case. If your style guide differs, do a quick final pass.

  • Prefer slugs for the public web If this is going into a URL, go with Slug. It’s designed to stay readable and avoid odd edge cases.


How It Works

  • Split → normalize → join The tool breaks your text into words using common separators (spaces, underscores, dashes, dots, punctuation), then:

  • lowercases the words (where casing exists)

  • joins them with underscores

  • Keeps the useful stuff Numbers are preserved, and line breaks stay intact for bulk conversions.

  • Private by default Everything happens in your browser — no uploads, no tracking, no storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

snake_case joins words with underscores and usually uses lowercase letters (e.g., 'hello world' → 'hello_world'). It’s common in Python, database fields, and many internal naming systems.

snake_case uses underscores (hello_world). kebab-case uses hyphens (hello-world). Hyphens are more common for URLs; underscores are more common for code and identifiers.

Yes. Spaces and separators (like dashes, dots, and extra punctuation) are treated as word breaks, then the words are joined with underscores. Numbers are kept.

Yes. Multi-line input stays multi-line, so you can convert whole lists (one item per line) in one go.

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your input isn’t sent to a server, and the tool can work offline after it loads once.
