Free URL Slug Generator
Convert a title or phrase into URL-friendly text with optional lowercase output, special-character removal, extra-separator cleanup, and a hyphen or underscore separator. Accent marks are decomposed and removed where Unicode normalization supports them.
Steps
How it works
- Paste the title or text to slugify.
- Choose lowercase, special-character, and separator-trimming options.
- Select a hyphen or underscore separator.
- Generate, copy, or download the resulting slug.
Highlights
Key features
- Replaces runs of spaces, underscores, and hyphens with the selected separator.
- Offers lowercase output as an option.
- Can remove characters outside ASCII letters, digits, spaces, underscores, and hyphens.
- Uses NFKD normalization to remove many combining accent marks.
- Can trim selected separators from both ends.
Use cases
Common uses
- Create a URL path segment from a page or article title.
- Normalize labels for filenames, IDs, or content-management fields.
- Compare hyphenated and underscored slug formats.
- Clean a short heading for a route prototype.
Notes
Limitations to know
- The tool creates text syntax only and does not check whether a URL or route already exists.
- It does not guarantee uniqueness or improve search rankings by itself.
- There is no language-aware transliteration; non-Latin characters may remain or be removed depending on the special-character option.
- Some letters that do not decompose into ASCII equivalents are not transliterated.
- Custom separators beyond hyphen and underscore are not supported.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How are spaces replaced?
Runs of spaces, hyphens, and underscores are replaced with the selected hyphen or underscore separator.
Are accents removed?
Many combining accents are removed through Unicode NFKD normalization, but not every writing system has an ASCII transliteration.
Can I choose a hyphen or underscore?
Yes. Both separator options are available.
Is punctuation removed?
It is removed when Remove special characters is enabled. Otherwise, unsupported punctuation may remain around normalized separators.
Does an SEO slug guarantee better rankings?
No. A readable slug can improve URL clarity, but rankings depend on many content and site factors.
