Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is free for unlimited use and needs no registration or payment.

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser and the text is never sent to or stored on our servers, so confidential copy stays private.

For short headings in a CMS, title case is fine. For anything approaching a sentence length, sentence case reads better and matches what Google typically displays, so capitalise only the first word.

They are treated as single words, so state-of-the-art becomes State-Of-The-Art and o'brien becomes O'Brien. The apostrophe is preserved rather than treated as a split point.

About Capitalize Text

Have you ever typed an important headline on your phone, only to find it reading like a hurried note? Capitalizing text fixes that in one action, raising the first letter of every word so the whole line reads as a proper title instead of a fragment. It is the fastest way to make a list of product names, chapter titles or menu items look deliberately written rather than typed in a hurry.

Be aware that there are two different jobs here. Title case capitalises every significant word, so "the quick brown fox" becomes "The Quick Brown Fox" - that is what most CMS headline fields and list headings want. Sentence case capitalises only the first word of the sentence, which is what most style guides and search results prefer for long titles. Decide which you need before you run the conversion, because capitalizing everything on a ten-word title gives you "The Best Guide To Choosing A Laptop" rather than the cleaner "The best guide to choosing a laptop".

Beyond headlines, this is useful for cleaning data imported from a system where the source text was stored in lowercase only. Post titles, author names, category labels and product variants all come out looking consistent. Words joined by hyphens or apostrophes stay intact, so "state-of-the-art" and "o\'brien" are handled properly rather than being split apart.
