URL slug generator

Turn a title or heading into a lowercase, hyphenated, URL-safe slug: special characters and punctuation are stripped, spaces become hyphens, and accented letters are converted to their plain equivalent (café becomes cafe). Numbers are kept. A real, deterministic transformation using the browser’s own Unicode normalization, the same technique behind most CMS and blogging platforms’ own slug fields.

Lowercase, special characters stripped, spaces turned into hyphens.

How to use the slug generator

  1. Type your title. Enter the title or heading you want a URL slug for.
  2. Read the generated slug. See the lowercase, hyphenated result update as you type.
  3. Copy the slug. Click copy to take the slug for your blog post or page URL.
  4. Use it in your URL. Paste the slug directly into your CMS or page-routing setup.

Worked examples

Punctuation and accents stripped

"Café & Bakery: Best Croissants!" becomes "cafe-bakery-best-croissants" — 4 punctuation/accent marks (the accent, ampersand, colon and exclamation point) are all removed or converted.

Multiple spaces collapse to one hyphen

"Hello World -- Test" (3 spaces, then 2 dashes) becomes "hello-world-test" — runs of spaces or dashes never produce doubled-up hyphens in the result.

Slug generator FAQ

Does it keep numbers in the slug?
Yes — digits are preserved exactly, so "Top 10 Tips for 2026" becomes "top-10-tips-for-2026", numbers included.
What happens to accented letters?
They are converted to their plain ASCII equivalent — "café" becomes "cafe" — using standard Unicode normalization, not simply dropped.
Are leading or trailing hyphens removed?
Yes — any hyphen at the very start or end of the result is trimmed off automatically, so slugs never start or end with a dash.
Does it store or send my title anywhere?
No — the slug is generated entirely in your browser as you type, and nothing is sent to a server.
What if my title has no letters or numbers at all?
The result is an empty string — a slug needs at least one alphanumeric character, so punctuation-only input produces nothing usable.
Is this the same slug format most blogging platforms use?
Yes — lowercase, hyphen-separated, special-character-free is the standard convention most CMS and blogging platforms use for their own URL slugs.
