Title Case is a capitalization style used for English titles where major words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) are capitalized and minor words (articles, conjunctions, prepositions) are lowercase (unless they are the first or last word). Different style guides (APA, AP, Chicago, MLA) have slight variations in which words get capitalized.
APA style capitalizes prepositions of 4+ letters (From, With, About, etc.), while AP style lowercases all prepositions regardless of length. MLA style is similar to APA. Chicago style lowercases all prepositions. This tool has all these differences built in β just select your preferred format.
Sentence Case means only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized, just like a normal sentence. This is commonly used for article subtitles, news headlines, and certain academic citation formats. It's more natural and simpler than Title Case.
In standard Title Case, these words are typically lowercased: articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so), and short prepositions (in, on, at, to, by, for, of). However, the first and last word of the title are always capitalized regardless. Different style guides have varying rules about longer prepositions.
Alternating Case (also called spongebob case or StudlyCase) is a decorative text style where letters alternate between uppercase and lowercase: first letter uppercase, second lowercase, third uppercase, and so on. It's often used in social media for humorous or sarcastic emphasis. It has no formal grammatical rules.
