When capitalizing every word is the right choice

This format suits names, place names, product labels, and column headings in a spreadsheet, where each word is treated as its own item. It is also what you want when a list has been typed in lowercase and every entry needs tidying the same way.

Doing the same thing in Excel

Excel has =PROPER(A1), which capitalizes the first letter of each word in a cell. It behaves the same way as this page. Use the formula when the text lives in a spreadsheet, and use this page when you are pasting from somewhere else.

Common questions

What is the difference between this and title case?

This capitalizes every word without exception. Title case leaves small joining words like of and the in lowercase, which is how published titles are written.

Does it change words that are already capitalized?

Yes. Everything is normalized, so text that arrives in capitals or in a mixture of cases comes out in the same consistent format.

Can I capitalize only the first letter of a sentence instead?

Yes. Use Sentence case, which capitalizes the first letter and leaves the rest lowercase.

Is this tool free to use online?

Yes. It is free, needs no signup, and converts the text on your own device.
