Getting capitalisation right
Capitalisation is a small detail that quietly signals whether a piece was edited with care. The trouble is that the rules genuinely differ: newsrooms lean on AP-style title case, many software and lifestyle brands prefer sentence case, and formal titles often capitalise every word. Doing it by hand for a long headline is fiddly, and it is easy to leave a stray lowercase word or an over-capitalised preposition.
This converter applies each convention consistently in one pass. AP style is the one people get wrong most often — it lowercases articles, coordinating conjunctions, and short prepositions in the middle of a title, but always capitalises the first and last word. Convert, compare the styles side by side, and use the one that fits where the title will appear.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Title Case and AP-style title case?
Plain Title Case capitalises the first letter of every word. AP-style title case follows the Associated Press rule used by most newsrooms and blogs: it capitalises the principal words but lowercases articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, for, nor), and prepositions of three letters or fewer (of, to, in, on, at) — unless the word is the first or last word in the title, which is always capitalised.
When should I use sentence case?
Sentence case — only the first word and proper nouns capitalised — is increasingly common for headlines, email subject lines, and UI copy because it reads as more natural and less shouty. Many modern style guides and brands prefer it. Title case still dominates news headlines and formal titles. Pick one and use it consistently.
Is 'the' always lowercase in AP style?
Only in the middle of a title. As an article, 'the' is lowercased when it falls between the first and last words, but it is capitalised if it happens to be the first or last word — for example, 'The Making of a Headline' keeps a capital T because it opens the title.
Does this tool change my wording?
No. It only changes capitalisation. Your words, order, and punctuation stay exactly as you typed them; the tool just re-cases them for each style so you can copy the version you need.
Why do some capitalised words look wrong?
Style rules disagree at the edges — different guides draw the preposition line at three, four, or five letters, and some always capitalise verbs like 'Is'. This tool follows the common AP convention (lowercase prepositions of three letters or fewer). If your house style differs, adjust the output to match it.
