Typical uses

  • Cleaning up name columns. Imported contact lists arrive as "john SMITH" or "MARY o’brien" — one click normalises the whole column.
  • Addresses and place names. Cities, streets, and countries in an all-caps export become readable again.
  • Short UI labels and product names where full editorial title case rules would be overkill.
  • Menus, price lists, and slide headings that want a consistent, decorative look.

Capitalized Case is not Title Case

  • The difference is only visible when a title contains short words, which is exactly when it matters:
  • Capitalized Case: A Tale Of Two Cities — every word capitalised.
  • Title Case: A Tale of Two Cities — "of" stays lowercase.
  • For a book, article, or headline you almost always want Title Case. For a data column or a two-word label, Capitalized Case is simpler and more consistent.

Names this tool will not get right

Automatic capitalisation is per-word, so it cannot know about names with internal capitals — McDonald, O’Neill, van der Berg, DeSantis, or MacArthur. It will produce "Mcdonald" and "Van Der Berg". For a data cleanup pass this is normally acceptable and far faster than manual editing, but do scan the output before sending anything customer-facing.
