About the Title Case Converter

Capitalise a headline, a book title or a heading the way editors do. Articles, short prepositions and conjunctions stay lower case unless they open or close the title, words after a colon are capitalised, and acronyms like NASA and words with numbers are left alone.

How to use it

  1. Paste one title per line.
  2. Each line is converted to Title Case.
  3. Copy the titles.

Example

Input
the lord of the rings: the return of the king
Result
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

Questions

Which style guide does it follow?

It applies the rules AP and Chicago share: capitalise the first and last word and every major word; keep a, an, the, and, but, or, for, nor and short prepositions lower case. The guides differ on longer prepositions, so check a style guide for a formal publication.

Are hyphenated words capitalised?

Yes, each part: Long-Term Plan.

Will it break acronyms?

No. Words written entirely in capitals, words with numbers, hashtags and web addresses keep their original form.
