Title Case Converter
Convert any text to proper title case. Capitalize major words and lowercase minor words per AP and Chicago style guides.
About the Title Case Converter
Apply a simple English title-capitalization rule: lowercase words in a fixed minor-word list unless they are first or last, and capitalize other ASCII word starts and hyphenated parts. Whitespace is normalized to single spaces. Review names, acronyms and punctuation manually. This tool does not implement a selectable AP, Chicago or MLA style guide.
