About the Slug Generator

The generator removes special characters, converts text to lowercase, and replaces spaces with hyphens so marketers and devs can produce URL-safe slugs without regex or spreadsheets.

How the slug generator works

Your text first passes through Unicode NFD normalization, which splits each accented letter into a base character plus a combining mark; marks in the U+0300–U+036F range are then deleted, so é becomes e. Anything outside [A-Za-z0-9_], whitespace and the hyphen is dropped — punctuation, emoji and non-Latin scripts disappear instead of being transliterated. Runs of spaces or underscores collapse to a single hyphen, repeated hyphens collapse again, the string is lowercased, and leading or trailing hyphens are stripped. Letters with no canonical decomposition, such as ß or ø, are lost. Everything runs in your browser.

Why Teams Use This Generator

Applies consistent lowercase-hyphen formatting to keep URLs uniform across locales.
Strips punctuation and emoji to avoid 404s or encoding glitches.
Runs entirely in the browser so drafts and unpublished titles stay private.

How to Generate a Slug

1

Paste any title, blog headline, or product name into the input field.

2

Run the tool and watch it normalize the string in your browser.

3

Check that stop words or brand terms look correct; adjust the source text if needed.

4

Copy the slug and drop it into your CMS URL field, API payload, or routing config.

Common Mistakes

Forgetting to remove stop words for shorter slugs—edit the source text before generating.
Expecting the tool to translate or localize the string; it only formats what you provide.
Copying slugs with trailing hyphens because the source text ends with punctuation. Trim the input first.

FAQ

Does it handle accented characters?

Yes. Accents are converted to their ASCII equivalents (e.g., á → a) for compatibility.

Can I customize the delimiter?

This version uses hyphens to match most CMS defaults. You can edit the output manually if another delimiter is needed.

Is there a slug length limit?

No, but for SEO best practice keep slugs under ~60 characters by trimming the source text first.

Does my text leave the browser?

No, everything stays on-device.
