What Is Title Case Converter?
A title case converter capitalizes the first letter of each word while applying standard English title capitalization rules. In proper title case, major words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) are capitalized, while minor words (articles like "the" and "a", short prepositions like "in" and "of", and conjunctions like "and" and "but") are lowercase unless they're the first or last word. This follows established style guides like the Chicago Manual of Style and AP Stylebook. The tool is essential for formatting book titles, article headlines, blog post titles, email subject lines, and any heading that should follow standard English capitalization conventions.

Technical Guide
Title case conversion capitalizes the first letter of each word while keeping certain minor words lowercase. The algorithm first splits text into words, then applies capitalization rules: always capitalize the first and last word, capitalize all major words (4+ letters), and lowercase minor words (articles: a, an, the; prepositions: in, on, at, by, to, etc.; conjunctions: and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so). After colons or semicolons, the next word is always capitalized. Hyphenated words have each part capitalized (e.g., "self-aware" → "Self-Aware"). The implementation handles edge cases like all-caps input (first lowercased, then title-cased) and preserves intentional uppercase like acronyms when possible.
