About the URL Slug Generator
A URL slug is the readable part of a web address, like the-lighthouse-keeper. This tool creates one from any title: it lowercases the text, strips accents so café becomes cafe, replaces spaces and punctuation with a hyphen (or underscore), and removes leading and trailing separators. Each line is converted independently, so you can generate many slugs at once.
Clean slugs help both readers and search engines understand a page before they open it, which is why blogs, docs sites and stores use them. The result contains only lowercase letters, digits and the separator, which is safe in every URL without further encoding.
To go the other way and read a slug back as words, the Case Converter with title case helps after replacing hyphens with spaces.
How to use
- Paste one or more titles, one per line.
- Choose hyphen or underscore.
- Copy the slugs.
Common questions
- Are accents removed?
- Yes. Accented letters are reduced to their base form, so ü becomes u and é becomes e.
- What happens to punctuation and symbols?
- They are replaced by the separator, and repeated separators are collapsed to one.
- Can I generate many slugs at once?
- Yes, put one title per line and each becomes a slug.
