Capitalization Tool
Capitalize words, sentences, and titles with AP-style rules.
About the Capitalization Tool
Capitalization Tool rewrites text in seven distinct casings chosen from a grid of mode cards. Paste or type in the Original text textarea, then pick a mode and the Converted text ResultBox updates immediately because the transformation runs live with no button presses. Capitalize Each Word raises the first letter of every word, Sentence case capitalizes only letters that start a sentence, ALL CAPS and all lowercase do exactly what they promise, First letter only touches a single character, and tOGGLE cASE inverts every letter. Title Case (AP) is the most refined mode: it applies Associated Press style by keeping common small words like a, an, the, and of lowercase unless they fall at the very start or end of the title, and the small-word list appears as badges whenever that mode is active. The stat row tracks Input chars, Output chars, word count, and the currently selected Mode, making it easy to compare how each casing changes a block. Clear empties the editor, Copy output sends the converted result to the clipboard, and the default sample demonstrates every mode effectively.

Common use cases
- Normalising user-submitted names to Capitalize Each Word before display.
- Converting article headings to Title Case (AP) for a consistent editorial style.
- Lowercasing imported CSV values so joins against stored data become case-insensitive.
- Mocking alt text or stand-in copy with tOGGLE cASE during a design review.
- Repairing a pasted block of shouting text using the lower or sentence modes.
- Preparing consistent casing for meta titles and social share snippets.
Best practices
- Apply Title Case (AP) consistently across headings so article titles share one editorial rule.
- Reserve ALL CAPS for acronyms and short alerts, never whole sentences, to protect readability.
- Choose Sentence case for body previews and meta descriptions where natural flow matters most.
- Verify hyphenated and contracted words after Capitalize Each Word, since both are special cases.
- Confirm the Words stat matches expectations before publishing, catching double spaces from pasted text.
- Check the Output chars stat so a casing change does not silently mangle punctuation or digits.
Tips
- Run the default sample through every mode once so the seven outcomes feel familiar before writing real copy.
- Prefer Capitalize Each Word or Title Case (AP) for button labels and titles, and Sentence case for paragraphs.
- Use tOGGLE cASE when you want clearly stand-in text that no reviewer will mistake for final copy.
- Compare the Input chars and Output chars stats to gauge how aggressively each mode rewrites your text.
