Free title capitalization tool

What is a title case converter?

A title capitalization tool is a converter that applies a style guide's headline rules to your text. It capitalizes the first word, the last word and the word after a colon, then lowercases the minor words that style guide lists, such as a, and, of and to.

How do you use the Title Case Converter?

1. Type or paste your headline into the box.
2. Choose a style: AP, APA, Chicago, MLA or sentence case.
3. Read the converted title and compare all styles in the table below it.
4. Check words the tool cannot judge, such as up or over used as adverbs, and brand names in sentence case.
5. Click Copy title and paste it into your H1, title tag or document.

Should SEO titles use title case or sentence case?

Either is fine for SEO, because Google does not rank pages differently for capitalization. Google displays the title link from your page and may rewrite it, as its title link documentation explains. Pick one style for the whole site and use it in every title tag and H1 for consistency.

Which words are not capitalized in a title?

In most styles, articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor) and short prepositions (at, by, in, of, on, to) stay lowercase unless they are the first or last word. AP and APA capitalize any word of four letters or more, while Chicago and MLA lowercase all prepositions, even long ones like between.

What is the difference between AP and Chicago title case?

AP capitalizes every word of four or more letters, so With and About are capitalized. Chicago lowercases all prepositions regardless of length, so with and about stay lowercase. For example, AP gives "A Guide to Links With Real Value" while Chicago gives "A Guide to Links with Real Value".
