About URL Slug Generator
Convert any text into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug. Converts to lowercase, replaces spaces and special characters with hyphens, transliterates Unicode/accented characters to ASCII equivalents (é → e, ü → u, etc.), removes remaining non-alphanumeric characters, and collapses consecutive hyphens. Useful for generating URLs, file names, database IDs, and CSS class names.
All processing happens entirely in your browser using modern web APIs. Nothing is uploaded to our servers — your data stays local and private. Free to use forever, with a Pro plan for power users who want an ad-free experience and API access.
Common use cases
- Generating URL slugs for blog posts, product pages, and documentation
- Creating file names from article titles for a static site generator
- Building URL-safe identifiers from user-provided names
- Generating CSS class names or IDs from human-readable labels
- Creating database slugs for CMS content items
How it works
Step 1: Convert to lowercase. Step 2: Transliterate common Unicode characters (é→e, ü→u, ñ→n, etc.) using a substitution map. Step 3: Replace spaces and underscores with hyphens. Step 4: Remove any remaining characters that are not alphanumeric or hyphens. Step 5: Collapse consecutive hyphens to one. Step 6: Trim leading and trailing hyphens.
