Is "We" Capitalized in a Title?

Yes. "We" is a pronoun, and pronouns are major words in every title case style. It is only two letters, but length only decides the fate of prepositions and conjunctions. Pronouns are always capitalized.

Pronouns Are Always Major Words

The same rule covers every personal pronoun, subject or object: "I," you, he, it, they, us, them, and me. Possessives work the same way, so "Our" and "Their" are capitalized too.

Contractions keep the capital on the first letter only: "We're," "We've," and "We'll." The part after the apostrophe stays lowercase.

A Common Trap

A rule of thumb that circulates online says to lowercase every word of three letters or fewer. That shortcut is wrong for pronouns and verbs: "We," "Is," "It," "He," and "Be" all need capitals. The converter on this page sorts words by function, so it keeps them capitalized in every style.

Real Titles With "We"

"We" in Sentence Case

APA reference lists, many news sites, and most UI text use sentence case instead of title case. There, only the first word and proper nouns get capitals, so "we" is lowercase unless it starts the title: "What we learned from a year of blogging." Pick one of the two styles for a whole set of headings rather than mixing them.
