Capitalize the first letter of each word. Great for titles and proper formatting.

Capitalized case capitalizes the first letter of every word and lowercases the rest — so 'the quick brown fox' becomes 'The Quick Brown Fox.' Unlike strict title case, it doesn't make exceptions for small words: 'and', 'of', and 'the' all get a capital too. That makes it the right choice when you genuinely want each word to start big, such as proper names, menu and navigation labels, product names, course titles, and headings where a uniform, every-word-capitalized look is the goal. It's also handy for cleaning up a list of names that arrived in lower case or all caps — paste 'mary jane WATSON' and get 'Mary Jane Watson' back. The converter applies the rule the instant you type, treats spaces and hyphens as word boundaries so 'self-service' becomes 'Self-Service', and leaves your numbers and punctuation alone. Everything happens in your browser, and the result copies with a single click.

## How it works

1. **Paste Text** — Enter or paste the text you want to convert
2. **Choose Case** — Select from lowercase, UPPERCASE, Title Case, and more
3. **Copy Result** — Copy the converted text with one click

## Use cases

- **Name Standardization**: Fix imported names so each part starts with a capital letter
- **Menu and Nav Labels**: Give every navigation item and button a uniform Capitalized Look
- **Product and Course Titles**: Capitalize each word in catalog names and class listings
- **Headings in Bulk**: Apply an every-word capital to a batch of section headings at once

## Tips

- **Every Word Gets a Capital**: Unlike title case, capitalized case raises small words too — pick it when you want 'A Tale Of Two Cities', not 'A Tale of Two Cities'.
- **Clean Up Name Lists**: Turn 'john SMITH' and 'jane doe' into 'John Smith' and 'Jane Doe' across a whole column at once.
- **Hyphens Count as Breaks**: Hyphenated terms capitalize on both sides, so 'mother-in-law' becomes 'Mother-In-Law'.
- **Consistent Menu Labels**: Use it to give navigation items and buttons a uniform capitalized look across an interface.

## FAQ

### How is capitalized case different from title case?

Capitalized case capitalizes the first letter of every word with no exceptions. Title case keeps minor words like 'the' and 'of' lowercase. Choose capitalized case when you want a uniform look.

### Does it fix the rest of each word?

Yes. It capitalizes the first letter and lowercases the remaining letters, so 'jOHN' is cleaned to 'John'.

### How does it handle hyphenated words?

Hyphens act as word breaks, so both parts get a capital — 'state-of-the-art' becomes 'State-Of-The-Art'.

### Can I run a list of names through it?

Yes. Paste multiple lines and every word on every line is capitalized in a single pass.
