A slug is the readable part of a URL — the bit after the last slash, like my-first-post. This generator turns a title into a clean slug: it removes accents, lowercases the text, and replaces spaces and punctuation with a single separator. You can keep non-Latin letters or force plain ASCII. Everything runs in your browser.

How to use

  1. Type or paste your title into the text box.
  2. Pick a separator and toggle lowercase or ASCII-only.
  3. Copy the generated slug for your URL.

How it works

First the text is normalized so accented letters like é are reduced to their base form (e). It is optionally lowercased. Then every run of characters that isn't a letter or number is replaced with your chosen separator. In ASCII-only mode, only A–Z and 0–9 are kept; otherwise Unicode letters such as Japanese or Cyrillic are preserved. Finally repeated separators are collapsed and any leading or trailing separator is trimmed.

A title with spaces and accents becomes a lowercase hyphenated slug.Café Menu!→cafe-menu

FAQ

What is a slug?
The readable identifier in a URL, usually made of lowercase words joined by hyphens, like hello-world.
Does it remove accents?
Yes. Accented letters are reduced to their base letters, so é becomes e.
Can I keep Japanese or other scripts?
Yes. Turn off ASCII-only mode to preserve Unicode letters; turn it on for plain ASCII.
Hyphen or underscore?
Hyphens are standard for web URLs and better for SEO; underscores are common in code and file names.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The slug is generated entirely in your browser and nothing leaves your device.
