How to use Slugify

Type or paste text and the tool removes accents and punctuation, lowercases it, and joins words with your chosen separator to produce a URL-ready slug.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good URL slug?

Short, lowercase, hyphen-separated words with no accents or special characters — readable to humans and friendly to search engines.

How are accented characters handled?

They are transliterated to their closest ASCII equivalent, so 'Café' becomes 'cafe' rather than being dropped.

Can I use underscores instead of hyphens?

Yes — choose your separator. Hyphens are preferred for SEO, but you can pick underscores or another character if needed.
