How does slug generation work?

Input is lowercased, diacritics are stripped via Unicode NFD normalization, non-alphanumeric characters become hyphens, and duplicate or edge hyphens are removed.

Are non-Latin characters supported?

Characters outside basic Latin letters and digits are removed after normalization. For CJK or other scripts you may need locale-specific slug rules beyond this tool.

Does the Slug Generator upload my titles?

No. Slugify runs entirely in your browser. Your text never leaves your device for this tool.

Can I use the slug in URLs immediately?

Yes for typical ASCII blog and docs URLs. Always verify uniqueness and reserved paths in your CMS or router before publishing.

What happens to punctuation?

Punctuation and symbols are replaced with hyphens. Sequences of separators collapse to a single hyphen, and leading or trailing hyphens are trimmed.

Is there a maximum slug length?

Slugs are trimmed to 200 characters by default to fit common SEO and filesystem limits while keeping words intact where possible.

Slug Generator turns titles and phrases into clean, URL-safe slugs in your browser. Lowercase output, diacritic stripping, and hyphen normalization help you draft blog paths, docs URLs, and anchor IDs without uploading content.

How it works

Paste your title or phrase and the tool normalizes it with NFD, removes accent marks, lowercases letters, replaces non-alphanumeric runs with hyphens, and trims duplicate or edge separators. The slug updates live as you edit.
