Slugify text — turn titles into clean URL slugs, one per line

How to use the slugify tool

1. Paste your titles into Text (one slug per line). Blank lines are skipped.
2. Choose a Separator: Hyphen (-), Underscore (_) or Dot (.).
3. Keep Lowercase ticked for normal URLs, or untick it to keep the original capitals.
4. Tick Remove short stop words (a, an, the, and, of…) for shorter slugs.
5. Set Maximum length (0 = no limit), up to 200 characters, then copy the result. There is one slug per line, in the same order.

What it does and when to use it

A slug is the readable part of a URL, such as /blog/creme-brulee-10-easy-recipes. Use this tool to make slugs for blog posts, product pages, docs headings, Git branch names or file names. Batch mode helps when you import many titles from a spreadsheet.

For code identifiers rather than URLs (camelCase, snake_case and so on), use the developer case converter. If you need to keep non-ASCII characters in a URL instead of removing them, percent-encode the text with the URL encoder. The meta tags generator takes the finished URL as its canonical link.

How it works

Each line goes through these steps in order:

1. Transliterate letters that do not decompose: ß→ss, æ→ae, ø→o, œ→oe, đ→d, ł→l, þ→th, ð→d, ħ→h, ı→i.
2. Strip accents with Unicode NFKD normalisation, then remove the combining marks, so é becomes e.
3. Replace & with the word “and”, and delete apostrophes, so “Don’t” becomes “dont” rather than “don-t”.
4. Lowercase (if ticked) and split on anything that is not A–Z, a–z or 0–9.
5. Drop the stop words a, an, and, as, at, by, for, from, in, is, of, on, or, the, to and with (if ticked).
6. Join with the separator, trim to the maximum length at a separator, and remove any trailing separator.

Worked examples

Crème Brûlée: 10 Easy Recipes for 2026!  →  creme-brulee-10-easy-recipes-for-2026
Straße & Smørrebrød (separator _)        →  strasse_and_smorrebrod
The Art of the Deal (stop words on)      →  art-deal

Two lines with Maximum length 30:

Don't Panic: Node.js 22 Release Notes
Why we moved to PostgreSQL 17

gives

dont-panic-node-js-22-release
why-we-moved-to-postgresql-17

The first line would be 35 characters, so “-notes” is dropped at the separator. The dot in “Node.js” becomes a hyphen, like every other symbol.

Limits and tips

• Changing a published slug breaks links. Add a redirect from the old URL when you change one.
• Only the listed letters are transliterated. Other special Latin letters are kept only if Unicode can break them into a base letter plus an accent.
