Lowercasing a title and swapping spaces for hyphens handles the easy half of making a URL slug, the genuinely tricky part is a title like "Café Münchën" or one carrying a smart quote or an em dash, characters that need to be transliterated or stripped into clean, ASCII-safe text rather than left as encoded garbage or silently dropped from the slug entirely. This tool converts any text or title into a clean, SEO-friendly slug, properly handling Unicode characters, accents, and special punctuation rather than just the straightforward lowercase-and-hyphenate cases.

Useful for turning an accented, non-English title into a clean ASCII slug that still reads sensibly, converting a title with smart quotes or an em dash without leaving broken characters in the URL, or generating a consistent slug format for a site that publishes content in more than one language.

Quick answers for URL Slug Generator

What is a URL slug?
A slug is the readable, hyphenated tail of a URL (`/blog/how-to-build-a-slug`). Slugs are kinder to readers and search engines than `?id=42` URLs and survive content edits when the underlying ID changes.
How does the URL Slug Generator handle accents and emoji?
Accented characters are folded to their ASCII equivalents (`café` → `cafe`) using Unicode NFKD normalization. Emoji and other non-Latin characters that have no obvious romanization are stripped - slugs are deliberately conservative to stay portable.
What separator should I use?
Hyphens (`-`) are the safest, most-supported choice and what Google explicitly recommends. Use underscores (`_`) only if your CMS forces them, and dots (`.`) only inside file-style paths. Mixing separators across a site hurts consistency.
Is there a recommended length limit?
50–75 characters is a good zone for blog posts. Longer slugs are technically fine but get truncated in search results and shared links - pick a length and stick with it.
Can I generate slugs offline?
Yes. The slugifier is pure JavaScript that runs entirely in your browser. Once the page has loaded, it works without an internet connection.
