FAQ
How are initials generated from a full name?
The tool takes the first letter of each space-separated part of the name - "Mary Jane Watson" becomes "MJW", including middle names if present.
Can I get lowercase initials?
Yes. Switch the case dropdown to lowercase for results like "js" instead of "JS".
What does the period option add?
It formats initials with a period after each letter, like "J.S." instead of "JS" - a common style for formal signatures or monograms.
Is my name list sent anywhere?
No. Initials are extracted entirely in your browser as you type - nothing is uploaded.
