About the Slug Generator

A slug is the readable part of a URL, such as /blog/my-first-post. Turning a title into one by hand means lowercasing it, removing accents and punctuation, and joining the words. This generator does all of that consistently, so Café con Leche & Friends! becomes cafe-con-leche-friends, with a choice of hyphens or underscores between words.

What you can do

• Convert titles to lowercase slugs that contain only a to z, digits and your separator.
• Strip accents from Latin letters, so é becomes e and ñ becomes n.
• Collapse spaces and punctuation into a single separator and trim any from the ends.
• Choose a hyphen for URLs or an underscore for file names and identifiers.

When it works best

• Writing the URL for a blog post, product page or documentation article.
• Naming image files or folders consistently from their titles.
• Creating keys for translations or settings from human-readable labels.

Things to know

• The slug is built in your browser.
• Characters outside the Latin alphabet, such as Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic or Chinese, are removed rather than transliterated, as are letters like ß and ø that have no accent to strip.
• Slugs are not shortened, so trim long titles yourself for tidy URLs.
• To change text to camelCase or snake_case, use the Case Converter. To escape text for a URL instead, use URL Encode/Decode.
