About Title Case Converter
There is no single correct title case — the major style guides disagree. AP style capitalizes words of four letters or more; Chicago capitalizes everything except articles, coordinating conjunctions and prepositions regardless of length. Both always capitalize the first and last word. This tool applies the common rule: capitalize everything except a short list of minor words, unless the word is first or last.
How to use it
- Paste the text you want to run through title case converter.
- There is nothing to configure — the result updates as you type.

Questions
Why was "of" left lowercase?
Articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet) and short prepositions (of, in, on, at, to, by) stay lowercase in the middle of a title under every mainstream style guide. They are capitalized only in first or last position.
What about hyphenated words?
Both halves are capitalized — "Well-Known", not "Well-known". Chicago has exceptions for prefixes, but the general rule is what is applied here.
