URL Slug Generator — Convert Text to SEO-Friendly Slugs

Convert any title, phrase, or sentence into a clean, URL-friendly slug. Special characters and punctuation are stripped, spaces become hyphens or underscores, and accented characters (like é, ü, or ñ) are converted to their ASCII equivalents. Switch between hyphen and underscore separators depending on your CMS or framework convention.

All processing happens in your browser. No data is sent to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL slug?
A slug is the human-readable part of a URL path. For example, in /blog/my-first-post, the slug is my-first-post. Slugs are lowercase, hyphen-separated, and contain no special characters.
What characters are removed from the slug?
Special characters, punctuation, and symbols are removed. Spaces are replaced with hyphens (or underscores if you prefer). Accented characters like é or ü are converted to their ASCII equivalents.
Can I use underscores instead of hyphens?
Yes. Toggle between hyphen and underscore separators in the options. Hyphens are generally preferred for SEO as Google treats them as word separators.
