Text to Slug

Convert any text into a clean, URL-safe slug.

About this Text to Slug

Text to Slug turns headlines and folder names into URL-safe slugs for blogs, CMS entries, and file paths. Accents are normalized, punctuation stripped, and spaces replaced with your chosen separator—usually a hyphen for public web URLs. Marketers generate permalinks from draft titles; developers prepare route segments and asset names; freelancers propose clean paths in client proposals. Readable, moderately short slugs share better and map cleanly to analytics filters than keyword-stuffed strings. Because conversion is client-side, unreleased campaign titles remain private until you publish. After pasting into a CMS, check for collisions with existing posts that already claim the same path segment. Avoid stop-word stuffing; a short descriptive slug outperforms a stuffed phrase. Update internal links whenever a published slug changes to prevent soft 404s.

How to use

  1. 1Paste the title or phrase you want to convert.
  2. 2Choose lowercase and separator options (typically a hyphen).
  3. 3Generate the slug and review special-character removal.
  4. 4Shorten the source text if you need a clearer, shorter URL.
  5. 5Copy the slug into your CMS permalink or route config.

Frequently asked questions

What characters are removed?
Non-alphanumeric characters are stripped after accent normalization. Spaces become your separator.
Should slugs be lowercase?
Lowercase is recommended for consistent URLs and to avoid case-sensitive server issues.
How long should a slug be?
Keep it readable—a few meaningful words. Extremely long titles can be shortened before converting.
Does this guarantee a unique CMS ID?
No. Uniqueness depends on your CMS. Check for collisions after pasting.
When should I use underscores?
Some internal systems prefer underscores; hyphens remain the common convention for public web URLs.
