What does this tool do?
The slug generator turns a title or piece of text into a clean, URL-friendly slug: it lowercases letters, replaces spaces with your chosen separator, and strips out special characters. It is the fastest way for bloggers, content creators, and developers to produce readable, SEO-friendly links.
How to use it
- Paste your text into the input area.
- Adjust the options to fit your needs.
- Copy the processed text.
Accents and special letters handled cleanly
The tool maps accented and special letters to their plain ASCII equivalents, so a title like "Café Crème" becomes "cafe-creme" while keeping the meaning intact. It also includes dedicated handling for Turkish characters such as ş, ğ, ü, ö, ç and ı. After that it lowercases everything, removes diacritics, deletes any symbol that is not a letter or digit, and collapses repeated separators into one. The result is always a valid, readable URL fragment.
Hyphen, underscore, or dot separator
You can choose from three separators to join words in your slug: hyphen (-), underscore (_), or dot (.). For most blogs and content management systems the hyphen is the recommended standard, since search engines treat it as a word boundary. Underscores are often preferred for file names or certain technical contexts. Whichever you pick, the tool prevents runs of multiple spaces from producing repeated separators. Click any of the example titles to see the output update instantly.
Frequently asked questions
What is a slug and why does it matter?
A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies the page, for example /blog/how-to-write-clean-urls. Clean slugs make a link clearer for both readers and search engines.
Which separator should I use?
The hyphen (-) is recommended for web pages and blog posts, because search engines read it as a word separator. Underscores and dots are more for technical uses.
What happens to emojis or punctuation?
Every character that is not a letter or digit, including emojis, punctuation and symbols, is removed, so the slug contains only safe, valid URL characters.
