Slug Generator

Turn a title into a clean URL slug. Nothing leaves your browser.

How it works

Accents are removed, & becomes "and", apostrophes are dropped, every other run of symbols or spaces becomes one separator, and separators at the start and end are trimmed. A length limit cuts the slug and removes any trailing separator.

FAQ

What is a URL slug?

A slug is the readable last part of a web address, such as my-first-post in example.com/blog/my-first-post. It is usually lowercase words joined by hyphens.

Should I use hyphens or underscores?

Hyphens are the usual choice for URLs. Google's documentation recommends hyphens because they separate words clearly. Underscores are offered here for file names and code.

How are accents and symbols handled?

Accented letters lose their accents (café becomes cafe), & becomes and, apostrophes are dropped, and any other symbol or space becomes one separator.
