Title Case Converter

A title case converter does more than capitalize every word. It applies the actual rules a style guide uses, lowercasing minor words like "of," "the," and "and" while capitalizing the words that carry meaning, and correctly capitalizing the first, last, and post-colon words regardless of what they are.

AP/APA style versus Chicago style

AP style, and the closely related APA style used in academic writing, lowercase articles, coordinating conjunctions and prepositions of three letters or fewer. The Chicago Manual of Style goes further and lowercases prepositions no matter how long they are, so words like "between," "without" and "through" stay lowercase in Chicago title case but stay capitalized under AP rules. Neither approach is universally correct; the right one depends on which style guide your organization or publisher follows.

Colons, first words and brand names

Every major style guide capitalizes the first word of a title, the last word, and the first word immediately after a colon, even when that word would normally be a lowercase article or preposition. This tool also leaves words with an internal capital letter, like NASA, iPhone or eBay, exactly as typed, since those capitalizations are intentional and not something a style rule should override.

Why correct title case still matters

Headlines, page titles and blog post titles get read far more than they get clicked, so a title that looks sloppily capitalized, or over-capitalized with every single word in caps, can quietly undercut credibility before someone even reads the content. Getting small formatting details right is part of the same attention to on-page quality that shows up in SEO content optimization work more broadly.
