About the Title Case Converter

Title Case is not simply capitalising every word. Proper headline style capitalises the important words but leaves short connecting words — articles, conjunctions and short prepositions — in lowercase, unless they fall at the very start or end of the title. This converter applies those rules for you.

The minor words kept lowercase are a, an, and, as, at, but, by, for, if, in, nor, of, on, or, per, the, to, vs and via. Every other word is capitalised, and the first and last word are always capitalised no matter what — so "the lord of the rings" becomes "The Lord of the Rings". Punctuation attached to words is preserved, and each line is handled separately.

Conversion is instant and runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded.

Examples

"the lord of the rings" → "The Lord of the Rings".
"a tale of two cities" → "A Tale of Two Cities".
"tips for writing on the web" → "Tips for Writing on the Web".

Frequently asked questions

5 answers
Which words are kept lowercase?
Short function words: a, an, and, as, at, but, by, for, if, in, nor, of, on, or, per, the, to, vs and via — but only when they are not the first or last word.
Are the first and last words always capitalised?
Yes. Even a minor word is capitalised if it opens or closes the title, which matches standard headline style.
Does it handle ALL CAPS input?
Yes. Each word is normalised first, so shouting text and mixed case are both converted to clean Title Case.
Does it keep punctuation and multiple lines?
Yes. Punctuation attached to words is preserved, and each line is title-cased independently so lists stay intact.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
