Good to know
Acronym Maker takes the first letter of each word and shows it with periods by default, for example U.N. for United Nations. Switching periods off gives a plain acronym. The text is processed in your browser using Unicode, so accented letters are folded to a base letter and your phrase is never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the acronym show periods by default?
Acronym Maker defaults to a dotted style because it reads as more formal; you can turn the periods off at any time.
Can I make a plain acronym without dots?
Yes. Switch the periods off and the tool joins the first letters into a plain acronym.
Does it handle long phrases?
Yes, up to a fixed working length; if you paste a very large amount of text it uses the first part and shows a note.
Is my text kept private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser, so the phrase you enter never leaves your device.
