What is Snake Case?
Snake case is a style of writing where words are written in lowercase and separated by underscores (_).
Example:
- Normal text: this is snake case
- Snake Case: this_is_snake_case
It’s called “snake case” because the underscores between words look like a snake slithering along 🐍.
Example of Snake Case
- user name → user_name
- product price list → product_price_list
- search engine optimization → search_engine_optimization
Where is Snake Case Used?
Snake case is super common in programming and databases. You’ll find it in:
- Variable names → user_name, total_price
- Database fields → first_name, last_login
- File naming → my_project_files
- Python programming → PEP-8 recommends using snake_case for variables and functions.
It’s neat, readable, and avoids spaces or capitalization issues.

FAQs
Why is it called snake case?
It’s called snake case because the underscores between words look like a snake slithering along 🐍.
What’s the difference between snake case and camel case?
snake_case → uses underscores, all lowercase (user_name).
camelCase → no underscores, second word starts with uppercase (userName).
Both are common in coding, but camelCase is popular in JavaScript, while snake_case is standard in Python.
Will the tool affect punctuation or numbers?
No. The tool only changes the text into snake_case. Numbers, punctuation, and symbols remain exactly as they are.
