The Title Case Converter capitalizes the first letter of major words in a string, ensuring titles and headlines follow grammatical standards.
Different publishing standards apply distinct rules for capitalizing minor words (conjunctions, prepositions, and articles):
| Style Manual | Preposition Capitalization Rule | Conjunctions & Articles |
|---|---|---|
| APA Style | Lowercase short prepositions (3 letters or fewer, e.g. 'of', 'for'). | Lowercase articles ('a', 'an', 'the') and conjunctions ('and', 'but'). |
| Chicago Manual | Lowercase all prepositions regardless of length (e.g. 'between', 'through'). | Lowercase articles and conjunctions unless they are the first or last word. |
| MLA Style | Lowercase prepositions and coordinating conjunctions. | Lowercase articles unless they begin a title or subtitle. |
Our tool automates these guidelines, keeping minor words in lowercase (unless they begin or end the title) to produce clean headlines.
