Title Case Converter
Title Case Converter first uses locale-aware lowercasing, then capitalizes a Unicode letter at the start or after any character that is not a letter or number. This makes every detected word significant—including articles and prepositions—and capitalizes after hyphens and apostrophes. It is a mechanical start-capitalization style, not AP, Chicago, sentence-aware, language-specific, acronym-preserving, or proper-name title casing.
Runs locally — files stay on your deviceWill small words such as “and” remain lowercase?
No. Every detected word start is capitalized.
Mechanical title case differs from editorial headline style
Publishing styles use language-specific rules for minor words, acronyms, names, hyphens, and punctuation. This page uses one Unicode boundary heuristic.
How it works
Input is lowercased; a regex captures start/nonalphanumeric separator plus following Unicode letter and uppercases that letter.
Key concepts
Internal capitals are removed
mY woRD becomes My Word.
Unicode starts work
î at a detected beginning becomes Î.
When to use it
- Capitalize ordinary word starts consistently.
- Clean accidental capitals inside words.
- Create a draft title for manual editing.
When not to use it
- Do not expect a newsroom style guide.
- Do not expect acronyms or brands preserved.
- Do not use it for names without review.
Worked examples
Romanian
- Input
îNVĂȚ limba roMÂNĂ- Expected output
Învăț Limba Română
Text lowers first.
Minor words
- Input
war and peace- Expected output
War And Peace
No minor-word list.
Hyphen

Hyphen creates a new detected start.
Common mistakes
Calling it style-guide title case
No editorial rule set exists. Correction: Edit minor words manually.
Losing acronyms
NASA becomes Nasa. Correction: Restore required forms.
Assuming names are correct
McDonald and brands need exceptions. Correction: Review proper nouns.
Best practices
- Use as a first draft.
- Restore acronyms and brand forms.
- Apply a chosen language/style guide afterward.
