Title Case Converter: what to know
The title case converter capitalizes headlines and titles the way style guides do, not by capitalizing every word. Choose AP style (Associated Press, used by many newsrooms) or Chicago style (The Chicago Manual of Style, common in books and academic publishing).
In both styles the first and last words are capitalized, as is the first word after a colon or dash. Articles (a, an, the) and short coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, for) stay lowercase in between. AP also lowercases prepositions of three letters or fewer and capitalizes longer ones such as 'With' and 'Through'; Chicago lowercases prepositions of any length but capitalizes 'so' and 'yet'.
Words with deliberate capitals, such as NASA, iPhone and eBay, are kept as typed, and URLs and email addresses are left alone. In hyphenated compounds each part is capitalized except small words after the first part ('Out-of-Date'). Words like 'up' and 'out' are capitalized because in titles they are usually part of a verb ('Set Up', 'Log Out').

Tips for the best result
- Style guides disagree on edge cases; pick one style and use it everywhere on a site.
- If a word can be a preposition or an adverb ('over', 'like'), check the result by reading the title aloud.
- Each line is treated as its own title, so you can paste many at once.
