Title Case that follows the actual rule

Not “capitalise every word”. Articles, short conjunctions and short prepositions stay lowercase in the middle of a title, while the first and last words are always capitalised — so you get “The Best of the Rest”, not “The Best Of The Rest”.

How it works

01

Minor words stay lowercase — in the middle only

Articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, yet, so) and short prepositions (at, by, for, in, of, on, to, up, via) are lowercased when they fall inside a title. Every English style guide agrees on that much.

02

The first and last words are always capitalised

This is the rule most converters miss. “What Are You Waiting For” keeps its capital “For” because it ends the title, and “A Tale of Two Cities” keeps its capital “A” because it starts one. Without both rules you get titles that are wrong in a way that looks deliberate.

03

The list stops where the guides stop agreeing

Style guides diverge on prepositions longer than four letters — some capitalise “Between” and “Through”, some do not. Rather than pick a side and be silently wrong for half of users, the lowercase list covers only the words everyone agrees on.

What it does

Live as you type

Type or paste a headline and see it converted immediately. No button, nothing to wait for.

Works on a list

Paste multiple lines and each is treated as its own title, so you can convert a whole content plan in one go.

Practical advice

Getting a better result

  • If your house style capitalises every word regardless, use “Capitalise Each Word” in the case converter — it is a different rule and it is offered separately for exactly this reason.
  • Acronyms are not protected: “NASA” becomes “Nasa”. Fix those by hand after converting, or keep them out of the text you paste.
  • For a headline that is a full sentence, sentence case often reads better than Title Case and is increasingly the house style at large publications.

Questions

Things people ask

Which words are left lowercase?

a, an, and, as, at, but, by, for, if, in, nor, of, on, or, per, so, the, to, up, via, vs and yet — and only when they fall in the middle of the title. The first and last words are always capitalised whatever they are.

Why does it lowercase a word my style guide capitalises?

Because style guides genuinely disagree, mostly about longer prepositions. The list here covers only the words every major guide treats the same way, which keeps it right more often than picking one guide and applying it to everyone.

Does it handle acronyms?

No — “NASA” comes out as “Nasa”. Distinguishing an acronym from an ordinary word needs a dictionary, and guessing produces worse results than leaving it to you to correct.
