Use cases
The rules of title case, and why "smart" matters
Title case is not "capitalize every word." The major style guides — AP, Chicago, APA, MLA — all agree on the core rule: capitalize the first and last word plus every major word, but keep minor words lowercase. Minor words are articles (a, an, the), short conjunctions (and, but, or), and short prepositions (of, to, in, on). That is why The Lord of the Rings is correct and The Lord Of The Rings looks amateur.
The guides differ at the edges — AP capitalizes prepositions of four letters or more (With, From), Chicago generally lowercases prepositions regardless of length — so pick one convention per publication and stay consistent. This converter follows the widely shared core rules, and the "capitalize" mode is available when a style sheet genuinely wants every word capped.
Sentence case is winning the web
A quiet shift in digital style: most major tech companies moved their interfaces and headlines to sentence case (capitalize only the first word and proper nouns) because it reads faster and feels less formal. News sites split — many US outlets keep title case for headlines while UK publications largely use sentence case. If you write for both, this tool converts either direction, which beats retyping a headline every time a style guide changes hands.
