Why use this tool?
Clean URL slugs help both readers and search engines understand what a page is about at a glance. This tool automatically strips special characters, converts spaces to hyphens, and lowercases your text to produce a ready-to-use, SEO-friendly slug.
It runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded or logged anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?+
A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a readable way, like the "my-awesome-post" in yoursite.com/my-awesome-post. It's typically lowercase with words separated by hyphens.
Why use hyphens instead of underscores?+
Google officially recommends hyphens because it treats them as word separators, while underscores can be read as joining words together, which is worse for SEO.
Does this tool store or upload my text?+
No. The slug is generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server.
Does it handle special characters and accents?+
Yes, accented characters (like é, ñ, ü) are converted to their closest plain-letter equivalent, and symbols/punctuation are removed automatically.
