Slug Generator
Slug Generator
Paste a title, heading, or phrase to convert it into a clean URL slug — lowercase, hyphen-separated, with accented characters simplified and special characters removed.
Every letter is lowercased and any run of spaces or non-alphanumeric characters collapses into a single hyphen, keeping the slug tidy even when the source text has irregular spacing or punctuation. Accented characters are simplified to their plain-ASCII equivalent — "é" becomes "e," "ñ" becomes "n" — since URL slugs are conventionally restricted to plain letters, numbers, and hyphens for maximum compatibility across browsers, servers, and sharing platforms, and any leading or trailing hyphens are trimmed automatically from the result.
- Lowercased and spaces (or any run of non-alphanumeric characters) become a single hyphen.
- Accented characters are simplified — e.g. "é" becomes "e", "ñ" becomes "n" — since standard URL slugs are typically restricted to plain ASCII letters and numbers.
- Leading/trailing hyphens are trimmed and repeated hyphens are collapsed into one.
Why use hyphens instead of underscores?
Search engines generally treat hyphens as word separators but not underscores, making hyphens the standard choice for readable, SEO-friendly URLs.
Does this preserve numbers?
Yes — digits are kept as-is; only letters are lowercased and non-alphanumeric characters are replaced with hyphens.
