Convert Text to Title Case

Title case capitalizes the principal words of a heading while keeping short connector words — a, an, the, of, to — lowercase, unless they open or close the title. This converter applies those rules line by line, so you can paste a list of headings and get consistent, publication-ready capitalization.

How to convert Text to Title Case

  1. Capitalize the first and last word of the title, always.
  2. Capitalize every other word except short connectors (a, an, and, of, the, to, …).
  3. Keep those connector words lowercase in the middle of the title.

Frequently asked questions

Which words stay lowercase in title case?

Short conjunctions, articles, and prepositions: a, an, and, as, at, but, by, for, in, nor, of, on, or, so, the, to, up, yet. Style guides differ slightly — AP and Chicago disagree on words like 'with' — but this list covers the common core.

Is title case the same as capitalizing every word?

No — capitalizing every word is called start case. Title case deliberately keeps short connector words lowercase, which is what most publications and style guides expect for headings.

How does the converter know where words start and end?

It splits on separators (underscores, hyphens, spaces) and on lowercase-to-uppercase boundaries, keeping acronym runs together — so HTTPServerError splits into HTTP, Server, Error regardless of the input convention.

Can I convert many identifiers at once?

Yes — put one identifier or phrase per line and every output format converts the whole list, ready to copy as a block.
