About this tool

Clean URLs are better for search engines and for people sharing links. A slug takes a headline like “10 Tips for Better Photos!” and turns it into `10-tips-for-better-photos`.

The generator removes punctuation, converts accented characters to their plain equivalents, and joins words with the separator you choose.

Frequently asked questions

How are accented characters handled?
Characters like é or ü are converted to their plain base forms (e, u), so the slug stays ASCII-safe and works in any URL.
Which separator should I use?
Hyphens are the convention for URLs and are treated as word separators by search engines. Underscores are more common in file names and code identifiers.
