Text to Slug: Turn Any Title into a Clean URL
This text to slug converter turns ordinary text into a tidy, URL-friendly string — the part of a web address that names a page in human-readable form. Type a title like "How to Learn JavaScript" and it becomes how-to-learn-javascript in real time.
Behind the scenes it handles every fiddly step for you: spaces become your chosen separator, punctuation and symbols are stripped, accented letters are folded to their base form (é to e, ñ to n), and Vietnamese characters like đ and ư are converted too. It is built for content creators, web developers, SEO specialists, and anyone who needs consistent, clean permalinks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a title — the part of a web address that identifies a specific page. In example.com/blog/my-first-post, the slug is my-first-post.
How do I convert text into a slug?
Type or paste your text into the input box and the slug appears instantly. The tool lowercases the text, strips punctuation, replaces spaces with your separator, and removes accents — all automatically.
Should a slug use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens are recommended for SEO. Google treats a hyphen as a word separator, so web-design reads as two words, while web_design may be read as one. Switch the separator to an underscore only if a programming convention requires it.
Does the slug affect SEO?
A clean, descriptive slug helps search engines understand your page and gives readers a useful preview before they click. Keep it short, include relevant keywords, and let the slug hint at the page content.
Are slugs always lowercase?
Lowercase is the safest, most consistent choice and is selected by default. If you need to keep the original capitalization, switch the case option to Original.
How does the tool handle special characters and numbers?
Symbols and punctuation (!@#$%^&*) are removed, and accented characters are folded to their base form. Numbers are preserved, so "10 Tips for Success" becomes 10-tips-for-success.
Can I convert multiple texts at once?
Yes. Enable Bulk Mode and enter one title per line — each line becomes its own slug. You can then copy all of them or download the list as a .txt file.
Can I use this to remove Vietnamese or other accents from text?
Yes. It strips diacritics from many languages — converting é to e, ñ to n, ü to u, ø to o — and handles Vietnamese (đ to d, ư to u, ă to a). For accent removal without slug formatting, use the Original case option and a space as the separator.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. All processing happens in your browser and your text never leaves your device. Once loaded, the tool keeps working even without an internet connection.
