What does Title Case Converter do?

Convert a headline to title case the way style guides define it: major words capitalised, short articles, conjunctions and prepositions left lowercase unless they open or close the title. Not a naive capitalise-every-word.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which words stay lowercase in title case?

Articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet) and short prepositions (in, on, at, to, of, by, up, via). All of them are capitalised if they are the first or last word.

Do the major style guides agree?

Broadly, but not exactly. Chicago lowercases all prepositions regardless of length; AP capitalises prepositions of four letters or more. This tool follows the common convention of lowercasing short function words.

Should page titles use title case?

It is a house-style decision, not an SEO one. Title case reads as more formal and is common for news and headings; sentence case reads as more conversational. Consistency across your site matters more than which you pick.

What about hyphenated words?

The convention is to capitalise both parts of a hyphenated compound in a title — "Long-Term Strategy". The converter capitalises the first element and leaves the rest as typed so you can adjust.
