Chicago Title Page Generator
A free online tool that helps you create a title page for your Chicago-formatted paper.
What Is the Chicago Title Page Generator?
The Chicago Title Page Generator is a free tool that formats title pages to the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition - the standard in history and much of the humanities. Chicago gives more latitude than APA, which makes its conventions easier to get subtly wrong: title centered a third of the way down, your name, course information and date several lines below, all in the same font as your paper with no bold, no decoration and no page number on the title page. Enter your details and the tool assembles them correctly the first time.
How to Use the Chicago Title Page Generator
- Enter your paper title, your name, course and date.
- Click generate to receive your formatted Chicago title page.
- Copy it into your document - title a third of the way down, details toward the bottom.
- Begin page numbering on page 2 - the title page carries no visible number.
Chicago Title Page Conventions
Place the full title (including any subtitle, separated by a colon) centered, roughly one-third of the way down the page - title case, no bold, no italics, no underlining. Several lines below, add your name, then the course name and number, then the date - each on its own centered line. Use the same font and size as the body (usually 12-point Times New Roman). The title page counts in pagination but displays no number; page 1 of your text shows the number 1. If your department follows Turabian - Chicago's student adaptation - our Turabian title page generator matches those slightly stricter conventions.
