Title Case Converter
Capitalise headlines the way style guides expect.
About this tool
Convert a headline to Title Case, where the important words are capitalised but short connecting words — a, an, and, of, the, to — stay lowercase unless they start or end the title. That rule is what separates proper title case from simply capitalising every word, and it is what most editorial style guides expect for headings, article titles and page headings.

Frequently asked questions
Which words stay lowercase in title case?
Short articles, conjunctions and prepositions such as a, an, and, as, at, but, by, for, in, of, on, or, the and to — unless they are the first or last word of the title.
What is the difference between title case and capitalised case?
Capitalised case capitalises the first letter of every word without exception. Title case keeps short connecting words lowercase, which reads more naturally in a headline.
Is title case the same in every style guide?
The broad rule is shared, but guides differ on details such as how long a preposition can be before it is capitalised. This tool follows the widely used short-word convention.
