Free Text to URL Slug
Good URLs are short, lowercase and readable. Paste any headline and this free generator builds an SEO-friendly slug — accents stripped, words joined by your chosen separator, no unsafe characters left behind.
How to Use the Text to URL Slug
- Paste your headline or page title.
- Choose dash or underscore separator.
- Toggle lowercase and accent removal as needed.
- Click “Generate slug” and copy it.
Features
Unicode NFD accent stripping (é → e, ü → u), optional forced lowercase, dash or underscore separators, and collapsing of repeated separators. Trims leading/trailing separators so output is always clean and URL-safe.
Benefits & Use Cases
Bloggers create slugs for every post without thinking. E-commerce teams generate product URL handles. Developers build slug functions and need a reference implementation. SEO writers keep URLs keyword-rich and readable.
Tips
Dashes are the SEO-recommended separator — Google treats them as word breaks, unlike underscores. Keep slugs under 60 characters; trim filler words like “and” or “the”. Accent stripping avoids percent-encoded gibberish in URLs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the slug generator free?
Yes, free and unlimited.
Should I use dashes or underscores?
Dashes. Search engines treat dashes as word separators; underscores are not.
How are accents handled?
With accent removal on (default), é becomes e, ñ becomes n, and so on.
What characters are removed?
Anything not a letter or digit becomes the separator — no spaces or unsafe symbols survive.
Is my headline uploaded?
No, slug generation runs locally.
