The facts
Write 10 headlines
This free press release headline generator writes 10 headlines for your news, each with a subhead, each a different angle.
Every headline is checked for what reporters cut, and counted against the headlines of the most-read releases of 2025. There's no account.
What is a press release headline generator?
A press release headline generator writes the one line that decides whether a reporter reads the rest of your release.
This one writes 10 angles on the same news and checks each: the length, the company's name, hype, capitals and any number you didn't give it.
How long should a press release headline be?
About 12 words. That was the median for PR Newswire's 20 most popular releases of 2025, against 15 words on the everyday wire.
| Headline | Words |
|---|---|
| U.S. News Announces 2026 Best Colleges Rankings | 7 |
| Jersey Mike's Subs Raises Record-Breaking $30 Million in March for Local Charities | 12 |
| TIME Reveals the 2025 TIME100 List of the 100 Most Influential People in the World | 15 |
All 3 are among those 20. Each names who, then what, and the last 2 carry a number.
What makes a good press release headline
- Who did what: the company first, then the action
- The number: 6 of the 19 most-read headlines had one
- No hype: none of the 19 used a hype word in its headline
- No shouting: capitals and exclamation marks read as an ad
- A subhead: 63% of the most-read had one, carrying the proof the headline can't fit
The news still wins. A few of the most-read broke these rules and did fine, because the story was big.
The rules keep a good story from hiding.
How we know the headlines are ready
Each headline shows its words and characters, and it's flagged when it:
- Runs over 120 characters
- Shouts in capitals
- Has an exclamation mark
- Has a word reporters cut, like revolutionary or industry-leading
- Doesn't name the company
- Has a number you didn't give it
Put the headline to work
A headline is half of the job. Write the release around it with the press release generator, then send it to one reporter with the media pitch generator.
For a headline you already have, the headline analyzer scores it against thousands of real headlines.
Who is the press release headline generator for?
It's for anyone announcing news who wants a reporter to read past the first line:
- Press release generator – people who need the whole release
- Press release checker – anyone who has a release and wants to know what to fix
- Headline analyzer – people writing headlines for posts and emails too
