Smart Title Case Converter — Correctly Skips Minor Words
Convert a headline or title to proper title case, following real style-guide conventions — short conjunctions, articles and prepositions (a, the, and, of, in) stay lowercase unless they open or close the title, which a naive "capitalize every word" converter gets wrong.
How to use Smart Title Case
- Paste your headline or title.
- Read the correctly title-cased result.
- Copy it.
Frequently asked questions
- Why do some words stay lowercase in title case?
- Style guides (AP, Chicago and similar) lowercase short articles, conjunctions and prepositions in the middle of a title — capitalizing every single word is a common mistake this specifically avoids.
- Does it follow a specific style guide?
- It follows the widely-used convention shared across most major style guides for which word classes stay lowercase; edge cases can vary slightly between specific guides like AP versus Chicago.
- Does the first and last word always capitalize?
- Yes — regardless of word type, the first and last word of the title are always capitalized under standard title case rules.
