Capitalize Titles the Right Way for Any Style Guide
Every style guide capitalizes titles a little differently. APA and AP capitalize words with four or more letters, Chicago and MLA keep every preposition lowercase, and each one still capitalizes the first and last word. Remembering all of that by hand is slow and easy to get wrong.

It lowercases the small words like “a”, “of”, and “the”, capitalizes the words that matter, and handles the word after a colon. Writers, students, editors, and bloggers use it to keep headlines and headings consistent without checking a rulebook every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about title case and style-guide capitalization.
What is a title case converter?
A title case converter capitalizes the right words in a heading or headline and lowercases the small ones. This tool applies real style-guide rules, so you can format a title in APA, Chicago, AP, MLA, and more without memorizing which words to lowercase.
How is APA title case different from Chicago?
APA and AP capitalize any word with four or more letters, so short prepositions like "with" and "over" stay capitalized. Chicago and MLA keep every preposition lowercase no matter its length. Both styles still capitalize the first and last word of the title.
Which words are not capitalized in title case?
Title case keeps articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or), and short prepositions (of, to, in, on) lowercase, unless they are the first or last word. This converter handles those exceptions automatically for each style guide.
What is the difference between title case and sentence case?
Title case capitalizes the main words in a title, like "The Art of War". Sentence case capitalizes only the first word and any proper nouns, like "The art of war". This tool does both, plus UPPERCASE and lowercase.
Does it work for AP, MLA, and Wikipedia style?
Yes. Alongside APA and Chicago, you can convert titles using AP, MLA, Bluebook, AMA, NYT, and Wikipedia rules. Pick the tab you need and the capitalization updates instantly.
