Title Case is a capitalization style used for titles, where major words are capitalized and minor words (articles like a/an/the, short prepositions like in/on/at/for/to, and conjunctions like and/but/or) are lowercase β unless they are the first or last word of the title. This format is widely used in academic papers, book chapters, news headlines, and article titles. Different style guides (AP, APA, Chicago, MLA) have slightly different rules for which words should be capitalized.
The four common Title Case styles differ mainly in how they handle prepositions and conjunctions. AP Style capitalizes prepositions of four or more letters (e.g., 'With', 'From', 'About') while keeping shorter ones lowercase. APA (American Psychological Association) keeps all prepositions lowercase regardless of length. Chicago Manual of Style capitalizes longer prepositions (four+ letters) but keeps short ones lowercase. MLA (Modern Language Association) is similar to Chicago but is more strict about 'to' in infinitives. This tool supports all four major styles.
In Title Case, the following types of words typically stay lowercase (unless they are the first or last word of the title): articles (a, an, the), short prepositions (in, on, at, for, to, by, with, from, of, as, up, per, via), and coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, yet, so). Different style guides handle prepositions differently β AP Style looks at word length (4+ letters capitalized), APA keeps all lowercase, Chicago/MLA keep short ones lowercase. First and last words are always capitalized in all styles.
Title Case capitalizes most major words (except articles, prepositions, and conjunctions) and is used for paper titles, book titles, article headlines, news headlines, and chapter titles. Sentence Case only capitalizes the first word (and proper nouns), similar to a normal sentence, and is used for abstracts, body paragraphs, descriptions, and subtitles. Think of it this way: Title Case operates at the word level, while Sentence Case operates at the sentence level.
