Chicago Title Case Converter

The Chicago Manual of Style capitalizes most words in titles, including prepositions of four letters or more (From, With, After) — a middle ground between AP and APA. This converter applies Chicago rules exactly.

Chicago title case rules

Capitalize the first and last word, all nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns, plus prepositions and conjunctions of four letters or more. Lowercase short prepositions like "of" and "to" (except first/last).

Where Chicago style applies

Books, academic publishing, literary journals, and any publication following the Chicago Manual of Style.

Chicago vs APA vs AP

Chicago capitalizes 4+ letter prepositions (like APA) but keeps "to" in infinitives capitalized (unlike APA). The converter keeps the rule sets separate so you never mix them.
