When capitalising 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 capitalises 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 capitalises 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 capitalised?
Yes. Everything is normalised, so text that arrives in capitals or in a mixture of cases comes out in the same consistent format.
Can I capitalise only the first letter of a sentence instead?
Yes. Use Sentence case, which capitalises 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.
