Free Title Case Converter

Convert Many Titles at Once

This converter is built for lists. Paste a column of blog titles, a set of section headings, a batch of email subject lines or a list of video titles, and each line comes back converted, in the same order. Blank lines stay blank, so a list with gaps keeps its shape.

Pick a style with the buttons above the box and the whole list changes at once, so you can compare APA with Chicago or switch to sentence case in a click. A "worth a second look" box under the result lists the words most likely to need your judgment. If you want one title with notes shown under it, use the capitalize my title tool.

Title Case vs Sentence Case

Two conventions cover most headings:

• Title case capitalizes the main words: "How to Start a Blog in Ten Steps."
• Sentence case capitalizes only the first word, proper nouns and acronyms: "How to start a blog in ten steps."

Which one you need depends on where the heading will appear. Academic styles often use title case for the titles of works and, in some styles, sentence case for reference list titles. Many websites and apps now prefer sentence case for interface text and headings because it reads as more relaxed. Check the guide for your publication, or look at how existing headings on your site are written, and be consistent.

For title case there are several sets of rules, and you choose with the buttons.

The rules are taken from the style guides' own pages: APA Style, the MLA Style Center and the Chicago Manual of Style. The AP Stylebook is a paid reference, so we apply its title rule as commonly published and you should check your edition. The styles genuinely differ on words like "from," "with" and "between," so a title can be correct in one guide and wrong in another.

Ways to Use a Bulk Converter

• Blog and website headings. Make a whole table of contents consistent in a minute.
• Spreadsheets of titles. Copy a column, convert it and paste it back.
• Email subject lines. Clean up a batch before sending. Our email subject line generator can suggest new ones.
• Video and podcast titles. Keep a series consistent. For ideas, see the YouTube title generator.
• Reference lists and bibliographies, where each entry's title needs the same treatment.
• Presentation slides. Standardize the headings across a deck.
• Text that arrived in capitals. Paste ALL CAPS headings and get readable ones back.

If you need uppercase, lowercase or alternating case rather than title case, use the case converter.

What It Keeps and What You Should Check

Because the rules are fixed, the tool is consistent, and also literal:

• Acronyms and brands you typed with capitals are kept, such as NASA, FBI, iPhone and eBay. A short list of very common terms, such as AI, SEO, FAQ, CEO and YouTube, is fixed even when typed in lowercase.
• Other names typed in lowercase are treated as ordinary words. If a company or place was lowercased, capitalize it after converting.
• Sentence case needs care with names. If the text you paste is already in title case or all capitals, the tool cannot tell names from ordinary words, so it lowercases them and says so. If your text mixes capitals and lowercase, words you capitalized in the middle of a line are kept as likely names.
• Prepositions that can also be adverbs, such as "up" in "give up," follow the style's list, and the tool notes the call.
• One heading per line. A full paragraph pasted in is treated as a single long title.

Tips for Cleaner Results

• Pick the style first. Switching afterwards is instant, but it is easy to forget.
• Skim the notes under the result.
• Read the last word of each line. It is always capitalized in title case, even a small one.
• Check names and brands after converting.
• Be consistent. Use one style for a whole document or site.

Your Text Stays in Your Browser

The converting happens on your device. Nothing you paste is uploaded, saved or sent to an AI.

What This Tool Cannot Guarantee

Title case rules have exceptions, and a program cannot see your sentence. It can be wrong about words that work as both a preposition and an adverb, about names it does not know, and about titles in other languages or with unusual conventions. Style guides also change between editions, and publishers add their own rules. Treat the output as a fast first pass, and check anything that must be exact, such as a manuscript or a reference list, against the guide you were given.
