Capitalises every significant word and leaves articles, short prepositions and coordinating conjunctions lowercase — except the first and last word, which are always capitalised.
How to use the title case converter
The rule people get wrong is the first and last word. "A Tale of Two Cities" capitalises the opening "A" even though "a" is normally a small word, and a title ending in "for" capitalises it. Beyond that, style guides genuinely differ: AP capitalises prepositions of four or more letters, so it writes "Fall Into Place" where Chicago writes "Fall into Place". Neither is wrong. This follows the more conservative Chicago-style rule, which leaves all short prepositions lowercase. Also worth knowing: a hyphenated compound in a title normally capitalises both parts, and this tool capitalises the first part only, so "Twenty-First" needs a manual touch.
