Title Case Converter — Free Online

Paste a heading and get properly capitalised title case back as you type. Significant words are capitalised while minor words such as “a”, “of” and “the” stay lower case, which is how headline style actually works. Acronyms like NASA and HTML keep their existing capitals.

How to use the title case converter

  1. Paste or type your heading into the first box.
  2. Title Case is already selected — the result appears instantly below.
  3. Press Copy result and paste it wherever you need it.

Which title case standard does this follow?

There is no single rule for title case, which is why two tools can disagree about the same headline. This converter follows Associated Press style, the one most newsrooms and marketing teams use: capitalise the first and last word, capitalise everything of four letters or more, and leave short articles, conjunctions and prepositions — a, an, the, and, but, or, for, of, in, on, to — in lower case when they fall in the middle.

Chicago style differs mainly in prepositions: it lower-cases them regardless of length, so “Notes Toward a Theory” keeps “toward” down where AP would raise it. APA capitalises any word of four letters or more, which is close to what you get here. If you are writing for a publication with a house style guide, treat the output as a fast first pass and check the handful of words that sit on the boundary.

Using title case in SEO titles and H1s

Google does not rank a page higher for being in title case, but people scanning a results page read a properly capitalised headline faster than a lower-cased or shouted one, and click-through rate is something Google can measure. The practical advice is to keep your title tag around 50–60 characters so it survives truncation on desktop, put the phrase people actually search near the front, and use title case so the line looks like a headline rather than a sentence fragment.

One caveat worth knowing: capitalising every single word, including “Of” and “The”, reads as machine-generated and is a common tell for low-effort content. Leaving the minor words down is the small detail that makes a headline look edited.
