Good to know
Acronym Builder takes the first letter of each word in your phrase. The skip-small-words option leaves out common joining words such as a, an, the, of, and to, the case option sets upper, lower, or mixed, and the periods switch adds a full stop after each letter. Everything is computed in your browser, and accented letters are folded to a base letter.
Frequently asked questions
Which small words are skipped?
Common joining words such as a, an, the, and, or, of, to, in, on, at, by, for, and with are skipped when the skip-small-words option is on.
Can I get periods between the letters?
Yes. The periods switch turns a plain acronym like NATO into a dotted one like N.A.T.O. to suit formal styles.
Does letter case change the result?
The case control sets the acronym to uppercase, lowercase, or mixed, while the letters chosen stay the same.
Is anything uploaded when I build an acronym?
No. The acronym is built locally in your browser and your phrase never leaves your device.
