What is a slug?

A slug is the URL-friendly form of a title — lowercase, with spaces and punctuation replaced by a separator (usually a hyphen). For example, "Hello World!" becomes "hello-world". Slugs make readable, SEO-friendly page URLs and IDs.

Turn text into a URL-safe slug

A slug is the clean, lowercase, hyphenated version of a title used in page URLs and IDs — for example hello-world-2025-edition. This tool converts any text into a slug, and can process a whole list at once (one item per line).

What the slugifier does

1. Unicode-normalise and strip accents:  Café → Cafe
2. Replace "&" with "and"
3. Replace every run of non-alphanumeric characters with the separator
4. Lowercase (optional) and trim leading/trailing separators
5. Optionally truncate to a maximum length, without a trailing separator

So Hello World! Café Crème — 2025 Edition becomes hello-world-cafe-creme-2025-edition.

Options

  • Separator — hyphen (the web standard), underscore, dot, or none.
  • Lowercase — on by default; turn off to preserve case.
  • Max length — cap the slug length and trim any trailing separator cleanly.

Common uses

  • Generating readable, SEO-friendly URLs from post or product titles.
  • Creating safe file names and identifiers from arbitrary text.
  • Batch-converting a list of titles into slugs for a CMS import.

Everything runs locally in your browser — your text is never uploaded.
