ℹ️ Smart Title Case
Small words (a, the, and, of, etc.) stay lowercase except at the beginning or end.
How it works
The Title Case Converter capitalizes the first letter of every significant word in a string — following standard English title capitalization rules. Short prepositions, conjunctions, and articles (a, an, the, of, in, and, but, or, for, nor, on, at, to, by) are left lowercase unless they appear as the first or last word.
Title case is the standard format for book titles, article headlines, blog post titles, product names, section headings, and UI navigation labels. Getting it right manually is tedious and error-prone, especially when handling long strings or batches of content.
How to use it: paste your title or list of titles into the input box. The tool applies title-case rules instantly, handling edge cases like all-caps input, mixed punctuation, and hyphenated compounds. Copy the output and paste it directly into your CMS, design file, or codebase.
Technical note: the converter follows AP Stylebook and Chicago Manual of Style conventions as a baseline, always capitalizing the first and last word regardless of type, and capitalizing any word after a colon. Hyphenated words capitalize both parts (e.g., "Self-Aware").
Why run it in the browser: if you're processing draft article titles, product catalog names, or SEO page titles, this content is often commercially sensitive. The Title Case Converter never sends your text off-device — it processes everything with a simple JavaScript string operation run entirely in your tab.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Short prepositions (in, on, at, to, by, for), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor), and articles (a, an, the) are left lowercase unless they are the first or last word in the title.
- The converter uses AP Stylebook rules as a baseline — capitalizing both parts of hyphenated words and always capitalizing the first and last word. Words after colons are also capitalized.
- The tool first lowercases the entire string, then applies title-case rules. This gives you clean output rather than ALL-CAPS words treated as proper nouns.
- Yes. Paste a multi-line list of titles — one per line — and each line is independently title-cased. The output is ready to copy back as a list.
