About this tool

A slug is the readable, URL-friendly version of a title — for example, “hello-world” from “Hello, World!”. Good slugs are lowercase, free of accents and punctuation, and use hyphens between words.

This generator handles accents (turning “café” into “cafe”), removes punctuation, collapses spaces and trims stray separators, so you get a clean slug ready for a page URL or filename. It runs entirely in your browser.

A slug is the URL-friendly part of a web address — usually lowercase words separated by hyphens, with no accents or punctuation.

Why are hyphens recommended over underscores?

Search engines treat hyphens as word separators in URLs, which is generally better for readability and SEO.
