About This Tool


URL slugs are the readable part of a URL that describes page content. For example, in "example.com/blog/how-to-bake-bread", the slug is "how-to-bake-bread". Good slugs improve SEO and user experience.

Our slug converter transforms any text into a clean, URL-safe format. It converts to lowercase, replaces spaces with hyphens, removes special characters, and handles accented letters by converting them to their ASCII equivalents (é becomes e, ñ becomes n).

SEO best practices recommend keeping slugs short, descriptive, and keyword-rich. Our tool helps create consistent, professional slugs that search engines can easily parse and users can understand at a glance.

The tool also handles edge cases like multiple consecutive spaces (converted to single hyphens), leading/trailing spaces (removed), and various Unicode characters that might cause URL issues.

FAQ

How are accented characters handled?
Accented characters are converted to their base form: é→e, ñ→n, ü→u, etc.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?

Are numbers allowed in slugs?
