Capitalise your headlines the right way. Choose a style, type or paste your title, and we apply proper title case, capitalising the important words and leaving short joining words lowercase, ready to copy.
Each style guide has its own rule for which short words stay lowercase and how long a word must be before it is capitalised. AP capitalises words of four letters or more.
In every style, the first and last word of a title are always capitalised, even if they are short joining words.
Title case is the capitalisation style used for headlines and titles, where the important words start with a capital letter and short joining words such as 'and', 'of' and 'the' stay lowercase.
Use the one your publication or course requires. AP is common in journalism and blogging, Chicago in books and general publishing, and APA and MLA in academic writing. The first and last word are always capitalised in all of them.
They mainly differ on which short words stay lowercase and the length cut-off for capitalising. For example AP capitalises any word of four or more letters, while Chicago lowercases all prepositions regardless of length.
