Slug Generator
Convert titles into clean URL slugs -- lowercase, hyphenated, with accents transliterated -- one at a time or a whole list at once, instantly, in your browser.
A slug generator turns a title like "Crème Brûlée & Co." into a clean URL slug like "creme-brulee-and-co" — lowercase, hyphen-separated, accents transliterated. Paste one title or a whole list; slugs generate instantly in your browser.
How this works
Each line of input becomes its own slug: accented letters are converted to their closest plain-ASCII equivalent (é becomes e, ß becomes ss, æ becomes ae), everything is lowercased, and any run of non-alphanumeric characters becomes a single hyphen. An ampersand becomes the word "and" by default. Optional settings let you remove common stop words (a, an, the, and…) or cap the result at a maximum length, always cutting at a word boundary rather than mid-word.
FAQs
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens are the more widely recommended separator for URLs, and are the default here — underscores are offered as an option if your platform specifically requires them.
Should slugs include stop words like "the" or "of"?
It’s a judgment call — shorter slugs are often preferred, but removing stop words can occasionally make a slug read oddly. The option is available; there’s no single right answer.
Can accented letters be used directly in a URL?
Technically yes, but transliterating them to plain ASCII is generally safer and more readable across browsers, tools, and copy-paste, which is why this tool converts them by default.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your text is never sent to a server, uploaded, or stored anywhere.
