Title Case Converter

Retyping a heading to fix its capitalisation is tedious and easy to get inconsistent. This free title case converter capitalises every main word and lowercases the small connectors like and, of and the, so your titles and headings look correct in a single paste — with an optional sentence-case mode too.

What is a Title Case Converter?

A title case converter rewrites text so that each principal word is capitalised while short connecting words stay lowercase, the way book titles and article headings are styled. It turns a messy all-lower-case string into a clean, professional heading without you retyping a single letter.

The rule is simple but subtle. Words such as and, of, the, in and on are treated as small words and left lowercase unless they begin the title, while every other word gets its first letter capitalised. The same tool also offers sentence case, which capitalises only the first word of each sentence, useful for full paragraphs.

Content teams use it to normalise blog titles and H2s, to format email subject lines, to tidy captions and to make headlines conform to a style guide faster and more consistently than editing by hand. It is also a common step before publishing meta titles, where consistent capitalisation looks more professional in search results.

Pro tips

Title Case reads best for short headings; Sentence Case is more readable for full paragraphs.
Run a lowercase pass first to normalise wildly inconsistent input, then apply Title Case to a clean slate.
Keep proper nouns and acronyms in mind — automatic conversion is correct for ordinary language but not for unusual names.
Check the small words: the converter keeps connectors like "of", "the" and "and" lowercase except at the start, which is the standard convention.

FAQ

What is Title Case?

Title Case is a capitalisation style where the first letter of each principal word is uppercase and short connecting words such as and, of and the are lowercase, except the first and last word.

What is the difference between Title Case and Sentence Case?

Title Case capitalises principal words throughout, while Sentence Case capitalises only the first word of each sentence and keeps the rest lowercase.

Which words stay lowercase in Title Case?

Short connectors such as a, an, and, as, at, but, for, in, of, on, or, the, to and with stay lowercase unless they begin the title.

Does it upload or store my text?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded or stored.

Why use a title case converter instead of retyping?

It removes manual error and inconsistency. A heading you style by hand can mix capitalised and lowercase words, while a converter applies the same rule to every word.

Does it handle acronyms and proper nouns?

Its rules handle ordinary language well but treat all words similarly, so properly cased acronyms or unusual names may need a manual tweak after conversion.

What is the difference between alternating case and Title Case?

Alternating case switches between uppercase and lowercase on every letter for a decorative effect, while Title Case capitalises only the leading letter of principal words.
