About this tool

Inconsistent heading capitalisation looks careless, and fixing it by hand across a page or a list of titles is slow. Paste one heading or many lines and the formatter applies the same rules to each line, including hyphenated words (State-of-the-Art) and the first word after a colon.

It uses one general set of rules rather than a named style guide such as AP, APA or Chicago, so check your guide's exceptions for words like with and from.

A title case formatter capitalises headings for blog posts, articles, newsletters and ads. It has three modes - title case (major words capitalised, short words such as a, of and the kept lower-case), headline case (every word capitalised) and sentence case - and keeps acronyms and brand names as you typed them.

Examples

A blog heading with an acronym

Input

how to use SEO tools: a guide

Title Case

How to Use SEO Tools: A Guide

"to" stays lower-case, "SEO" keeps its capitals, and "a" is capitalised because it starts the part after the colon.

The same heading in each mode

Input

what is state-of-the-art AI?

Output

Title: What Is State-of-the-Art AI?  Headline: What Is State-Of-The-Art AI?  Sentence: What is state-of-the-art AI?

Title case keeps "of" and "the" lower-case inside the hyphenated word; headline case capitalises every part.

Common Mistakes

Problem

Expecting a named style guide's exact rules

Solution

Words such as with, from and into are capitalised here ("10 Tips for Writing With Confidence"), while some guides keep them lower-case. Adjust them by hand if your guide requires it.

Problem

Using Case Converter's Title Case for headings

Solution

The Case Converter's Title Case capitalises every word and turns SEO into Seo. Use this formatter when short words should stay lower-case and acronyms should keep their capitals.

Problem

Pasting a paragraph instead of headings

Solution

Title case is meant for titles. For body text, Sentence Case reads more naturally.

Limitations

One general rule set

Eighteen short words (a, an, and, as, at, but, by, for, in, nor, of, on, or, per, the, to, vs, via) stay lower-case unless they start or end a heading or follow a colon. There is no AP, APA, Chicago or MLA switch.

Names it can't recognise

Words typed in mixed case, like iPhone or JavaScript, are kept as typed; a name typed all in lower case will simply be capitalised like any other word.

FAQs

The most common question is what each mode does. Title case keeps short words like a, the and of lower-case unless they start or end the heading, headline case capitalises every word, and sentence case capitalises only the first word of each sentence. The FAQs below cover acronyms, hyphenated words and style guides.

What is the difference between title, headline and sentence case?

Title case capitalises every word except small words such as a, an, the, and, of, to and via, which stay lower-case unless they are first, last or follow a colon or dash. Headline case capitalises every word. Sentence case capitalises only the first word of each sentence. For example, "how to use SEO tools: a guide" becomes "How to Use SEO Tools: A Guide" in title case.

Are acronyms and brand names kept?

Yes. Words typed in capitals (SEO, HTML, USA) and mixed-case names (iPhone, JavaScript) are kept as typed. The exception is text typed entirely in capitals with four or more words, which is treated as shouting and converted.

How are hyphenated words handled?

In title case the first and last parts are capitalised and small words in the middle stay lower-case, so state-of-the-art becomes State-of-the-Art. In headline case every part is capitalised.

Which style guide does it follow?

None in particular - it uses one general list of small words. Style guides differ on words such as with, from and into, which this tool capitalises, so adjust those by hand if your guide requires it.
