- The slug is generated live.
- Accents are removed and spaces become hyphens.
- Copy the slug.
About Slugify Text
Slugs matter for SEO and readability: a clean URL like /blog/my-first-post is better for users and search engines than one full of spaces, capitals or special characters. Building slugs by hand is tedious and inconsistent, especially with accented characters. This tool normalises text the way a CMS would — lowercasing, transliterating accents, replacing whitespace with hyphens, and removing anything unsafe. It runs entirely in your browser.
FAQ
What does it do with accents?
It transliterates them to plain ASCII where possible, so "café" becomes "cafe".
Why are slugs lowercase?
URLs are case-sensitive on many servers, so lowercase slugs avoid duplicate-URL and broken-link problems.
What is a URL slug and why does it matter for SEO?
A slug is the human-readable part of a URL (like /how-to-format-json). Clean, descriptive, hyphen-separated slugs help users and search engines understand the page, and they look trustworthy in search results.
