Questions
What’s the difference between the styles?
All of them capitalize the first and last words and every major word. They differ on short words. AP and APA lower-case articles, conjunctions and prepositions of three letters or fewer (“of”, “and”, “for”) but capitalize longer ones (“With”, “About”). Chicago and MLA lower-case prepositions of any length (“with”, “about”), and MLA also lower-cases every coordinating conjunction.
Which style should I use?
Use the one your publication, school or client asks for. News writing mostly follows AP, academic writing APA or MLA, and books Chicago. If nobody asks, pick one and use it consistently.
What happens to words like iPhone, NASA or eBay?
A word with a capital letter after its first letter is kept exactly as you typed it, so brand names and acronyms survive. A title typed entirely in capitals is treated as if it were lower case.
Are there words the rules can’t decide?
A few. Some words are prepositions in one sentence and adverbs in another (“turn off the lights” but “Log In”), and style guides capitalize them differently by role. Check phrasal verbs like “Set Up” or “Look Up” in your result.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
