Title Case Converter

Capitalize headlines the right way — with small words like “of”, “the” and “and” kept lowercase.

🔒 Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored on a server.

The Title Case Converter capitalizes a headline the way professional editors do. Instead of naively capitalizing every word, it keeps short “minor” words — articles, conjunctions and short prepositions like a, an, the, and, of, to and in — in lowercase, while always capitalizing the first and last word. The result reads correctly as a title, not as a row of awkwardly capitalised words.

This matters because plain Title Case (capitalize-every-word) produces titles like “The Art Of War”, where “Of” looks wrong. Established style guides such as AP, Chicago and MLA all lowercase minor words in the middle of a title. Our converter applies that convention automatically, so your blog posts, articles, video titles and headings look polished and consistent.

Type your headline and the corrected version appears instantly. It runs entirely in your browser, handles multiple lines, and is happy with input that is all-caps, all-lowercase or a mess of both — it normalises everything to clean title case.

How to use

  1. Type or paste your headline into the input box.
  2. The properly capitalized version appears instantly in the result box.
  3. Review it — the first and last words are always capitalized; small words in the middle stay lowercase.
  4. Click Copy to use your headline, or Clear to start over.

Examples

A classic title
“the lord of the rings” becomes “The Lord of the Rings” — note “of” and the middle “the” stay lowercase, but the first word is capitalized.
A how-to headline
“a beginner's guide to baking bread at home” becomes “A Beginner's Guide to Baking Bread at Home”.
Fixing all-caps
“TOP 10 TIPS FOR A BETTER NIGHT'S SLEEP” is normalised to “Top 10 Tips for a Better Night's Sleep”.
Small word at the end
“something to think about” becomes “Something to Think About” — “About” is capitalized because it is the last word, even though it can be a minor word elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

Which words are kept lowercase?
Common articles, coordinating conjunctions and short prepositions: a, an, and, as, at, but, by, for, if, in, nor, of, on, or, per, the, to, via, vs, with, from, into, over and off — but only when they fall in the middle of the title.
Why is the first or last word always capitalized?
Style guides agree that the first and last words of a title are always capitalized, regardless of whether they are minor words. Our tool follows this rule.
How is this different from the Case Converter's Title Case?
The Case Converter capitalizes every word equally. This tool is smarter: it lowercases minor words in the middle, which is what editors actually want for headlines.
Does it follow AP or Chicago style exactly?
It follows the shared core of the major style guides. Those guides differ on edge cases (for example, the length of preposition they lowercase), so for strict academic submission you may want to double-check house style.
Can it handle multiple headlines at once?
Yes — each line is treated as its own title, so you can paste a list of headlines and convert them all at once.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
