How to generate a slug
To generate a slug, paste a title or phrase and the tool produces a clean, lowercase, URL-safe result in your browser. It transliterates accented and non-Latin characters into ASCII, removes punctuation, and joins the remaining words with your chosen separator.
You can switch between dashes and underscores depending on where the slug will live. Dashes are the standard for URLs and SEO-friendly permalinks, while underscores suit some filenames and code identifiers.
- Paste your title or phrase
- Pick a dash or underscore separator
- Get an ASCII, lowercase, URL-safe slug
- Copy it for URLs, anchors, or filenames
Why ASCII-first is the safer default
Most slug jobs target URLs, anchors, and systems where ASCII output is the safest choice, so this tool transliterates rather than preserving Unicode. That keeps results predictable across browsers, servers, and content systems that can mangle non-ASCII characters.
Transliteration means a title like a café review becomes cafe-review instead of an encoded mess. The result stays readable, shareable, and consistent no matter where you paste it.
