Title case rules used
- The first word is always capitalised.
- Nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and pronouns are capitalised.
- Short articles, conjunctions and prepositions stay lowercase unless they come first: a, an, the, and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet, of, in, on, at, to, by, up.
Example: “the best tools for writing a blog post in 2026” becomes “The Best Tools for Writing a Blog Post in 2026”.
Title case or sentence case?
Title case is common in American publications, book titles and many blogs. Sentence case, where only the first word and proper nouns are capitalised, is used by the BBC, the Guardian and many UK sites and apps. Both are correct. Pick one and use it consistently across your site. The converter above does both.
Headlines and SEO
Capitalisation does not change rankings, but a clean, consistent title looks more professional in search results and may earn more clicks. Check how your headline fits in Google with the SERP preview tool, and turn it into a clean URL with the slug generator.
