What is Text to Slug Converter?

A text to slug converter transforms human-readable text into clean, URL-friendly slugs suitable for web addresses, file names and API endpoints. Slugs are lowercase strings where spaces become hyphens (or underscores) and all special characters are removed. Our tool goes further by stripping diacritical marks — so accented characters like e-with-accent, n-with-tilde and u-with-umlaut become their plain ASCII equivalents. This makes your URLs universally compatible across browsers, servers and CDN edge caches. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript string normalization (NFD decomposition), so your text never touches a server. Whether you are building a CMS, writing blog posts or structuring API routes, this tool gives you production-ready slugs in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL slug?+
A URL slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page. For example in example.com/blog/my-first-post the slug is my-first-post. Good slugs improve SEO and user experience.
Does this tool handle accented characters?+
Yes. The converter uses Unicode NFD normalization to decompose accented characters into base character plus combining mark, then strips the marks. So e-with-acute becomes e, n-with-tilde becomes n, etc.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in slugs?+
Google recommends hyphens for URL paths because they treat hyphens as word separators. Underscores are better for file names, database columns and programming identifiers.
Is there a maximum slug length for SEO?+
Google can handle long URLs but best practice is keeping slugs under 60-80 characters. Shorter slugs are easier to share and look cleaner in search results.
Is my text sent to a server?+
No. All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
Can I use this for non-English text?+
The tool works with any text that uses Latin-based characters. It strips diacritics from French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Turkish and similar languages.
