How is this different from title case?

This capitalizes the first letter of every word, including minor words. Title case keeps small words like a, the and of lowercase.

Does it handle hyphens and apostrophes?

Yes. Each part of a hyphenated word is capitalized, and the tool keeps apostrophes intact within words.

Does it lowercase the rest of each word?

Yes. It forces the first letter of every word to uppercase and the remaining letters to lowercase, so 'hELLo WORLD' becomes 'Hello World' with consistent capitalization.

Will it handle accented letters?

Yes. The tool recognises accented Latin characters (such as é, ñ and ü), so words like 'café' or 'jalapeño' are capitalized correctly.

Capitalize Each Word

This tool capitalizes the first letter of every word in your text while lowercasing the rest, turning hello world into Hello World. Unlike title case, it capitalizes minor words like “a”, “the” and “of” too, which makes it ideal for names, product labels, form fields and headings where every word should be capitalized.

How it works

The converter scans the text for runs of letters (including accented Latin characters such as é, ñ and ü). For each word it uppercases the first letter and lowercases the rest. It treats hyphens and apostrophes as internal boundaries: each part of a hyphenated word is capitalized separately, while apostrophes stay in place within a word. Punctuation, numbers and spacing are left untouched.

Example

Input	Output
`hello world`	`Hello World`
`mary-jane o'neill`	`Mary-Jane O'Neill`
`the LORD of the rings`	`The Lord Of The Rings`
`café del mar`	`Café Del Mar`

Note how both halves of the hyphenated mary-jane are capitalized, the apostrophe in O’Neill is preserved, and every minor word in the last two examples gets an initial capital.
