Slugify
TextTurn any string into a URL-safe slug. Configurable separator, lowercase, strict ASCII.
What this tool helps with
A slug is the human-readable, URL-safe segment of a URL — the bit after the domain that names what the page is about. Search engines and humans both read slugs, which is why a good one is lowercase, hyphen-separated, ASCII, and free of stop words and special characters. This tool transliterates accented characters, collapses whitespace and punctuation, and lets you pick the separator and a strict ASCII mode. It runs entirely in your browser, so titles that contain customer names or unpublished content stay private.

FAQ
Why hyphens instead of underscores?
Search engines treat hyphens as word separators and underscores as part of a single word. "my-cool-post" is read as three words; "my_cool_post" is read as one. Hyphens win every time for SEO.
What happens to accented characters like ö or é?
They are transliterated to their closest ASCII equivalent (ö → o, é → e). Strict ASCII mode also drops characters with no reasonable Latin mapping, so the resulting slug only contains a-z, 0-9, and the separator.
Should I lowercase slugs?
Yes. Most servers treat URLs as case-sensitive, so /About and /about can be two pages. Lowercasing slugs at generation time avoids accidental duplication.
