Why use this tool

Proper title case rules

Small words such as a, an, the, of, and, or, and to stay lowercase in the middle of a title but are capitalized when they are the first or last word, so headings read the way editors expect.

Simple capitalize each word mode

Switch to a start case style that capitalizes the first letter of every word, including the small ones, for labels and list items.

Keeps acronyms and brand casing

Words already written in capitals like NASA or PDF, and mixed forms like iPhone or McDonald, are left as typed. A line written all in capitals is treated as a heading that needs recasing.

Handles many lines at once

Every line is treated as its own title, so you can paste a list of headings and get each one capitalized correctly with the line breaks preserved.

Live output, switchable after the fact

Every keystroke reconverts the text, and switching between the two styles reworks the same input. You never retype anything.

About this tool

This title case converter rewrites headings and titles using the capitalization rules an editor would apply. In Title Case mode it capitalizes the important words and keeps minor words lowercase: articles like a, an, and the, short conjunctions like and, or, and but, and short prepositions like of, in, on, and to. Those small words are still capitalized when they fall first or last in a line, and the first word after a colon is capitalized too, so a subtitle starts correctly.

If you just want every word to start with a capital letter, switch to Capitalize Each Word. This start case style leaves nothing lowercase, which suits button labels, column headings, and short list items. Both styles preserve acronyms and deliberate casing: a word already written in capitals, such as NASA or PDF, and a mixed form such as iPhone, are kept exactly as typed. A line that is entirely uppercase is read as a shouted heading and recased from scratch.

Everything is processed on your device as you type, and each line is handled separately so you can paste a long list of titles and copy them all back with the line breaks intact. For other text jobs, the case converter switches between UPPERCASE, lowercase, camelCase, and more, the slug generator turns a title into a clean URL, and the word counter reports length and reading time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Title Case and Capitalize Each Word?
Title Case follows editorial rules: it capitalizes the main words but keeps small words like a, an, the, of, and, and to lowercase, except when they are the first or last word. Capitalize Each Word is simpler, it capitalizes the first letter of every word with no exceptions.
Which words are kept lowercase?
Common minor words: the articles a, an, and the; short conjunctions such as and, but, or, nor, for, and so; and short prepositions such as as, at, by, in, of, on, per, to, and via. They are only lowercased in the middle of a line, never at the start or end.
Does it keep acronyms like NASA or brand names like iPhone?
Yes. When your text contains lowercase letters, any word already written with capitals inside it, such as NASA, PDF, iPhone, or McDonald, is left exactly as you typed it. Only a line written entirely in capitals is fully recased.
Can I convert more than one title at a time?
Yes. Each line is treated as a separate title, so the first and last word rule applies per line. Paste a list of headings and every line is capitalized on its own, with the line breaks preserved.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your text never leaves your device, is never sent to a server, and is not stored or logged.
Is there a character limit?
There is no hard limit. The converter handles text up to several hundred thousand characters comfortably. Very large inputs may cause a brief pause while your browser processes the change.
