Turn any title, heading, or phrase into a URL-safe slug. Removes special characters, normalises accents, and replaces spaces with your chosen separator — ready to paste into your CMS or code.
Generated output
Enter some text above and click Generate to create a slug.
The generator lowercases your input, applies Unicode normalisation (NFD) to decompose accented characters, strips the diacritical marks, removes any remaining non-alphanumeric characters (replacing them with spaces), trims leading and trailing spaces, then collapses all whitespace runs into your chosen separator. The result is a clean string containing only lowercase letters, digits, and the separator.
You are publishing a blog post titled "5 Tips for Better Sleep — Starting Tonight". The generator converts it to "5-tips-for-better-sleep-starting-tonight" — a readable, lowercase, hyphenated slug suitable for a URL like /blog/5-tips-for-better-sleep-starting-tonight.
Answers to common questions about this generator and how it works.
A URL slug is the human-readable part at the end of a web address that identifies a specific page. For example, in "example.com/blog/my-post-title", the slug is "my-post-title". Good slugs are lowercase, use only letters, digits, and hyphens, and describe the page content.
Google recommends hyphens over underscores for word separation in URLs. Hyphens are treated as word separators, so "my-blog-post" is indexed as three separate words. Underscores are treated as joining characters, so "my_blog_post" may be indexed as one word. Use hyphens for SEO-friendly URLs.
Accented and international characters (like "e", "o", "n") are automatically normalised to their ASCII equivalents. All other special characters (punctuation, symbols, emoji) are removed. This ensures the slug is safe to use in any URL without percent-encoding.
Yes. If a page already has inbound links and search engine rankings, changing its URL slug without a 301 redirect will break those links and reset its rankings. Always set up redirects when changing existing slugs.
Yes. The generated slug is also safe as a file name — it contains only lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens or underscores, which are universally supported across operating systems and file systems.
