This page opens the title capitalization tool with MLA style preselected — paste an essay title or works-cited entry, run it and copy the result, with the AP, APA and Chicago versions shown for comparison.

MLA style is the standard for humanities papers and works-cited lists. Like Chicago, MLA lowercases every preposition regardless of length, along with articles and the coordinating conjunctions, while capitalizing all principal words, the first and last word, both halves of hyphenated compounds and the first word after a colon — the subtitle rule student papers trip over most.

Applying MLA capitalization by hand across a long works-cited list is tedious and error-prone; here it is one click, one title per line. The tool runs completely in your browser, so your drafts stay on your device.
