Text Slugify Tool

A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human-readable form. Slugs are used in blog posts, product pages, and any URL where readability and SEO matter. A good slug is lowercase, uses hyphens as separators, and contains only alphanumeric characters.

How Slugification Works

The slugify process converts text by: lowercasing all characters, transliterating accented characters (e.g., ü to u, ñ to n), replacing spaces and special characters with a separator (typically a hyphen), removing consecutive separators, and trimming separators from the start and end.

Transliteration

Transliteration converts characters from one script to another. For URL slugs, this means converting accented Latin characters like é, ö, ç, and ß to their ASCII equivalents. This ensures URLs are universally compatible across all browsers and systems.

Bulk Mode

Bulk mode lets you paste multiple lines of text and get a slug for each line. This is useful when generating slugs for a list of blog post titles, product names, or category labels.

Reverse Slug to Title

The reverse mode converts a slug back to title case by replacing separators with spaces and capitalizing each word. Useful when you need to recover a readable title from a URL slug.

SEO Best Practices for Slugs

Keep slugs short and descriptive. Use hyphens as separators (Google recommends hyphens over underscores). Avoid stop words (the, a, an, is) when possible. Include your target keyword. Avoid changing slugs after publishing, as this creates broken links and loses link equity.
