How title case works

In title case the first and last words and all major words are capitalized, while short articles, conjunctions and prepositions (a, an, the, and, but, or, for, of, in, on, to, at, by) stay lowercase. This tool follows that common headline convention, and it also capitalizes the words after hyphens, so “well-known” becomes “Well-Known”.

AP, Chicago, MLA and APA differ on details, such as whether four-letter prepositions like “with” or “from” are capitalized. Check proper nouns, acronyms and brand names such as iPhone after converting.
