How Slug Generator Works
The tool lowercases your text, replaces accented characters with their plain-letter equivalents, strips anything that isn't a letter, number or space, then replaces runs of whitespace with a single hyphen (or underscore) — producing a URL-safe identifier.
How to Use This Tool
- Type or paste your title.
- The slug updates live as you type — copy it whenever you're ready.
Example
The title 10 Best Online Tools for Everyday Tasks! becomes the slug 10-best-online-tools-for-everyday-tasks.
Helpful Tips
- Keep slugs short and descriptive — they're both a URL and a small SEO signal for what the page is about.
- Avoid changing a page's slug after it's published if possible, since that changes its URL and can break existing links.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use hyphens instead of spaces in a URL?
Spaces aren't valid in URLs and get encoded as %20, which looks messy — hyphens are the widely accepted, search-engine-friendly convention instead.
Does this handle accented characters?
Yes, common accented letters (like é, ñ, ü) are converted to their plain-letter equivalents rather than being stripped out entirely.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No, the slug is generated entirely in your browser.
