About this tool

The URL Slug Generator takes any text, title, or phrase and converts it into a clean, URL-safe slug. It strips special characters, replaces spaces with hyphens, and handles capitalization so you get something a browser and a search engine can both work with. It is useful for developers, content editors, and anyone building pages, posts, or routes who needs consistent, readable URLs without doing the cleanup by hand. No setup required, works right in the browser.

Reach for this tool whenever you are creating blog posts, product pages, CMS entries, or API routes and need a slug that matches your formatting conventions. It saves time when you are processing multiple titles at once or working with content that includes accented characters, punctuation, or mixed case that would otherwise break a URL.

How to use it

  1. Type or paste your text, title, or phrase into the input field.
  2. Choose your separator preference, typically a hyphen, though underscores are supported.
  3. Select any additional options such as lowercase enforcement or special character removal.
  4. The slug generates automatically as you type, appearing in the output field below.
  5. Click the copy button to copy the finished slug directly to your clipboard.
  6. Paste the slug into your CMS, code editor, or route configuration where needed.

Pro tips

  • Run accented or non-ASCII titles through the tool first since most frameworks reject characters like é or ñ in routes silently.
  • If your CMS auto-generates slugs, use this tool to pre-check them and catch duplicates or truncation issues before publishing.

FAQ

Does it handle French or accented characters?
Yes, accented characters like é, à, and ü are transliterated to their plain ASCII equivalents before the slug is built. This keeps your URLs clean and broadly compatible.
Can I use underscores instead of hyphens?
Yes, the tool lets you switch the separator to an underscore if your framework or convention requires it. Hyphens are the default since most SEO guidance favours them.
