The rules it follows

Title case follows AP style: every word is capitalized except short articles, conjunctions and prepositions like a, the, and, of and to, which stay lowercase unless they start or end the title or follow a colon. Both parts of a hyphenated word are capitalized, as in Step-by-Step.

Words you've written with capitals inside them, like YouTube, iPhone or NASA, are kept as they are, and so are links, hashtags and @handles. A title written all in capitals is treated as lowercase first. Proper nouns can't be detected, so check names in sentence case.

Frequently asked questions

Should YouTube titles be in title case?

YouTube has no rule. Title case is the most common for long videos; sentence case reads more casually. Pick one and use it across your channel.

Why isn't a name capitalized in sentence case?

The tool can't tell a name from an ordinary word, so check proper nouns like places and people after converting.

Should I write titles in all capitals?

One capitalized word for emphasis can work, but whole titles in capitals are harder to read and can look like spam.
