Text to Slug

Paste text, get a URL-safe slug. Lowercase, spaces become hyphens, special characters get stripped, accented characters get normalized. The result is something you can drop into a URL without worrying about encoding.

Common use cases

Creating URL slugs for blog posts. "My First Blog Post!!" becomes "my-first-blog-post." Clean and readable.

Generating file names. Spaces and special characters in file names cause problems on servers and in scripts. Slug format keeps things safe.

Building anchor IDs. HTML anchor links need URL-safe strings. Slugifying your heading text gives you predictable, linkable section IDs.

Things to know

Accented characters get normalized: "caf\u00e9" becomes "cafe" because most URL systems don't handle diacritics gracefully. Leading and trailing hyphens get trimmed. Consecutive spaces, tabs, and mixed whitespace all collapse to a single hyphen.

The result works as a URL path segment, a file name, a CSS class name, or an HTML id attribute. Anywhere that needs a safe, human-readable string from arbitrary text.

Privacy

Slugification happens entirely in your browser. Your text stays on your machine.
