How to Use

How to Create an APA Title Page (APA 7)

Use this free generator to produce a fully formatted APA title page (also called an APA cover page or APA front page) that follows APA 7 student-paper rules: Times New Roman 12 pt, double spacing, 1″ margins, and a top-right APA header with page number 1.

  1. Enter your paper title (and optional subtitle). Type your title (and subtitle if you use one). The tool automatically applies Title Case and bold to match the required title page APA format.
  2. Add authors and affiliation. List each author’s first and last name. Provide your department (optional) and university so the affiliation reads like “Department of Psychology, University of Example.”
  3. Fill in course, instructor, and due date. Enter the course number/name, your instructor’s name, and choose a date. The date is formatted as Month DD, YYYY to fit APA style title page rules.
  4. Check the live preview. Confirm double spacing, centered lines, and that the header shows page number 1 in the top-right (no running head for student papers).
  5. Download the DOCX. Click Download DOCX to export your APA format title page for Microsoft Word or Google Docs—fonts and spacing preserved.
  6. Submit or keep editing. Open the file to make final tweaks. You can come back anytime to generate other styles (MLA, Chicago) when they’re available.

Tip: A student cover page APA layout does not include a running head—only the page number in the APA header. “APA format headings” (Levels 1–5) are used in the body of the paper, not on the title page.

Key Features

FAQ

Why use this APA title page generator instead of formatting by hand?
It’s the fastest way to get a compliant APA title page (a.k.a. APA cover page / APA front page): we auto-apply Title Case, bold title, double spacing, 1″ margins, and the page-number-only APA header. You get a clean APA format title page as a DOCX in seconds—no guesswork, no fixing tiny spacing errors.
Is it free, private, and safe to use? Do you upload my data?
Yes—free for personal use, and processing happens in your browser. We don’t upload your inputs to a server. Downloaded files are generated locally, so your paper details stay private.
Does the tool follow APA 7 student rules? What about running head vs. header?
Yes. For student papers, APA 7 requires page number only in the top-right header—no running head. The generator formats the APA header correctly and builds the rest of the title page APA format per APA 7. (Professional papers may require a running head if your journal instructs it.)
What elements are required on an APA style title page? Is a subtitle optional? How do I format the date?
Include, centered and double-spaced: title (bold), optional subtitle (bold), author(s), department & university, course, instructor, and due date. Subtitle is optional. The date uses the full month format: Month DD, YYYY (e.g., September 8, 2025). This matches standard APA title page format.
How do I list multiple authors and the affiliation line on the APA front page?
Put all authors on one centered line. For two authors, join with “and.” For three or more, use commas and “and” before the last name (e.g., “A B. Surname, C D. Surname, and E F. Surname”). Affiliation is shown as “Department of X, University of Y.” The tool formats names and the affiliation line automatically.
Will the DOCX open correctly in Word or Google Docs? What fonts and spacing are used?
Yes. The download is a standard DOCX that opens in Microsoft Word and Google Docs with Times New Roman 12 pt, double spacing, and 1-inch margins preserved. That’s the expected APA title page format; you can keep editing the file normally after download.
