URL Slug Generator
A URL Slug Generator converts a title or phrase into a clean, URL-safe slug — lowercased, with accents stripped and spaces and punctuation replaced by a single separator — entirely in your browser.
About URL Slug Generator
Paste a headline, product name, or any phrase and get a tidy slug you can drop straight into a URL, filename, or anchor id. Accented characters are transliterated (café becomes cafe), symbols are removed, and runs of spaces or punctuation collapse to one hyphen (or underscore). Paste multiple lines to slugify a whole list at once. Everything runs locally — nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?
A slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page, like 'url-slug-generator' in this page's address. Good slugs are short, lowercase, and use hyphens between words so they're readable and SEO-friendly.
How are accented or non-Latin characters handled?
Accented Latin characters are transliterated to their closest ASCII form (e-acute becomes e, n-tilde becomes n) via Unicode normalization. Characters with no ASCII equivalent are dropped, so the slug stays URL-safe.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens are the SEO convention — search engines treat hyphens as word separators but underscores as joiners. Use hyphens for public URLs; underscores are offered for filenames or ids where you prefer them.
