Title Case Converter — Style-Guide-Correct Capitalization
"Capitalize Each Word" is not title case — real title case keeps a, of, and the lowercase, capitalizes both halves of hyphenated words, and always capitalizes the first and last word. This free converter applies genuine APA, AP, and Chicago rules (which differ on prepositions), plus uppercase, lowercase, and sentence case modes. Instant, in-browser, no signup.
Style Guide Differences in One Table
| Word type | AP | Chicago | APA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Articles (a, the) | lower | lower | lower |
| Short preps (of, in, to) | lower | lower | lower |
| 4+ letter preps (with, from) | Cap | lower | Cap |
| Conjunctions (and, but, or) | lower | lower | lower |
| First/last word | Cap | Cap | Cap |
Example: the war with no end → AP/APA: "The War With No End"; Chicago: "The War with No End". Neither is wrong — consistency with your publication's chosen guide is what matters.
Who Needs Which Style
- Journalists and bloggers — AP style dominates news and most web publications.
- Book and long-form publishing — Chicago is the book-world standard.
- Academic writing — APA rules headings in psychology, education, and social sciences.
- SEO titles — no ranking impact either way, but consistent casing across your site reads professional in search results; pick one style and batch-convert here.
Sentence Case: The Rising Alternative
Many major products and publications have moved headlines to sentence case (only the first word and proper nouns capitalized) for a more conversational tone. The converter's sentence-case mode handles it, correctly re-capitalizing after sentence-ending punctuation in multi-sentence headings.
