Naively capitalizing every word in a headline (“The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog”) isn’t actually correct title case — real editorial style guides lowercase minor words like “the” and “of” in the middle of a title. This tool applies those rules correctly, in either AP or Chicago style.
What Is the Title Case Converter?
Paste your text and choose AP style, Chicago style, or a simple “capitalize every word” mode — the tool correctly lowercases minor words (articles, conjunctions, short prepositions) in the middle of the title while always capitalizing the first word, last word, and the word right after a colon.
How to Use It
- Open the tool at /tools/title-case-converter.
- Choose a style: AP, Chicago, or capitalize-every-word.
