What the Title Case Converter does
Title Case Converter: converts Output from Text.
Supply Text and you get Output back. You can nudge a single number and watch the effect straight away.
Most people who open the Title Case Converter are writers cleaning up a draft. Consistent formatting is the difference between a draft and something publishable.
This runs client-side, which means we never receive what you enter and could not retrieve it if asked.
The rest of this page documents each field, the method, and a worked example built from the values the title case converter loads by default.
What do the Title Case Converter fields mean?
The Title Case Converter uses 1 input. You do not have to fill everything in before seeing an answer; the starting values already produce one.
| Field | What to enter | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Text | paste or type any amount of text | The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. |
How does the Title Case Converter work?
Each output is derived from the inputs above in a single pass; there is no hidden state carried between runs, so the same inputs always give the same conversion.
The tool refuses to guess: if a value is missing or impossible, it says so.
Worked example
These are the values the Title Case Converter loads by default, and the result it produces from them. This is the worked example the page starts from, reproduced here so you can check the arithmetic.
| Text | The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Pack my box … |
|---|
| Output | The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog. Pack My Box With Five Dozen Liquor Jugs. |

Title case rules differ by style guide
There is no single correct title case. The major style guides disagree about which words to capitalise, and the differences are visible in almost any headline.
| AP style | Capitalise words of 4+ letters | "A Guide to the New Rules" |
|---|---|---|
| Chicago | Lowercase articles, short prepositions, conjunctions | "A Guide to the New Rules" |
| APA | Capitalise words of 4+ letters | similar to AP |
| Always capitalise | First and last word, regardless | every guide agrees on this |
Worth knowing
- The disagreement is mostly about prepositions. Chicago lowercases them regardless of length unless they are stressed; AP capitalises those of four letters or more.
- Every guide capitalises the first and last word of a title, whatever they are.
- Hyphenated compounds are handled differently too. Chicago generally capitalises both parts, AP often does not.
- Pick one guide and apply it consistently. Mixed conventions across a site are more noticeable than either convention alone.
How to use it
- Paste your content into Text.
- You will see the result move while you are still editing: that is expected.
- The results panel then shows Output.
- Copy Link puts the current inputs in the URL, so bookmarking it brings the same numbers back.
What this tool does not do
- Word and character definitions vary between tools: this one counts whitespace-separated tokens.
- Very large pastes are limited by your browser memory rather than a server quota.
- It does not account for anything you did not enter, by definition.
