If you're writing a headline, the title case converter is usually the better choice.

How words are detected

  • A new word starts after a space, line break, hyphen, slash or punctuation: “mary-jane” becomes “Mary-Jane”.
  • Apostrophes inside a word don't start a new word: “don't” becomes “Don't”, not “Don'T”.
  • Names with an internal capital (McDonald, iPhone) can't be detected automatically — check them after converting.

Frequently asked questions

How do I capitalize the first letter of each word in Excel?

Use =PROPER(A1). Note that PROPER also capitalizes letters after apostrophes (Don'T), which this converter avoids.

Will it keep acronyms like USB in capitals?

Yes, by default. Untick “Keep acronyms” if you want them changed too.
