Title Case is the capitalization style used for headlines, book titles, and article headers: most words are capitalized, but short "minor" words like "a", "the", "and", "of", and "in" are kept lowercase unless they're the first or last word of the title. This tool applies that convention automatically, capitalizing the first letter of every major word while correctly lowercasing a curated list of common articles, conjunctions and short prepositions — so "the lord of the rings" correctly becomes "The Lord of the Rings" rather than "The Lord Of The Rings".
Common short words are kept lowercase when they appear in the middle of a title: a, an, the, and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet, at, by, in, of, on, to, up, as, and is.
Yes — even if the first or last word of your title is normally a minor word like "the" or "of", it's still capitalized because it anchors the title, matching standard style-guide conventions.
Yes — every word in the full string is processed the same way, so a title with a colon and subtitle, like "the fellowship: a journey begins", is capitalized consistently across both halves.
Paste a title and each important word gets a capital letter, while small connecting words like "a", "the", "and" and "of" stay lowercase unless they open the title. That's the style most headlines, book titles and blog posts use.
It saves you from the capitalize-every-word method, which looks clumsy, and from debating whether "of" deserves a capital. The first word is always capitalized, so a title never starts with a lowercase letter.
Style guides disagree on the finer points, such as whether four-letter prepositions get a capital. Treat the result as the common convention and adjust to your publication's own rules if needed.
