Frequently Asked Questions

What is title case?
Title case is a capitalization style where the first letter of most words is capitalized, while certain minor words (articles, prepositions, conjunctions) are typically kept lowercase. It is commonly used for headlines, titles of books, articles, songs, and other works.
What is the difference between APA, Chicago, MLA, and AP title case styles?
Different style guides have slightly different rules: APA Style capitalizes words of 4 or more letters. Chicago Manual of Style follows traditional rules with most prepositions and articles lowercase. MLA is similar to Chicago but has specific rules for certain words. AP Style is used in journalism and keeps short words (under 4 letters) lowercase. All styles capitalize the first and last words regardless of length.
Which title case style should I use?
Choose based on your context: Use APA for academic papers in psychology, education, and social sciences. Use Chicago for books, articles, and general publishing. Use MLA for humanities papers and literature. Use AP for news articles and journalism. Use Smart Title Case for general purposes when no specific style is required.
Should acronyms be capitalized in title case?
Yes, acronyms should remain in ALL CAPS in title case. For example, "NASA" should stay "NASA", not become "Nasa". Our tool has a "Preserve Acronyms" option that automatically detects and keeps acronyms in their original uppercase form.

In most title case styles, the following types of words are kept lowercase (unless they are the first or last word): Articles (a, an, the), short prepositions (at, by, for, in, of, on, to, up), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, for, nor, yet, so).
