How to use the Title Case Converter

  1. Paste one or more titles, one per line.
  2. Choose a style guide.
  3. Copy the correctly capitalized titles.

What does this tool do?

Title case rules differ between style guides. All of them capitalize the first and last word and “major” words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs). The difference is what counts as a minor word.

Chicago lowercases articles, coordinating conjunctions and all prepositions. AP and APA lowercase only short words of three letters or fewer. Words after a colon are capitalized, and brand names with unusual capitals (iPhone, eBay) are left as they are.

Why use it?

  • Consistent headlines for blogs, newsletters and papers.
  • Follow your publication's style guide.
  • Handles hyphenated compounds and colons.

Example

“a guide to living with less: what to keep and what to throw away”
