# Convert Text to Title Case

> Convert text to title case online. Free converter that capitalizes principal words and keeps short words like a, of, and the lowercase.

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.

## FAQ

### 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.
