What the Text to Slug Converter Does and Why It Matters
The Text to Slug Converter turns a title or phrase into a clean, URL-friendly slug — lowercase, hyphen-separated, with accents and special characters stripped — in your browser. It produces the kind of readable identifier used in permalinks.
This matters for SEO and tidy URLs: a slug like /how-to-bake-bread is readable, shareable, and search-friendly, whereas a raw title with spaces and punctuation produces ugly, broken links. Generating slugs consistently keeps a site's URLs clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my text stored or sent to a server?
No. All text processing happens entirely within your browser. Your text is never transmitted to our servers or stored anywhere.
What characters are allowed in a slug?
URL slugs typically allow lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens or underscores. Special characters and spaces are converted or removed.
What are stop words?
Stop words are common words like "a", "an", "the", "and", "or", "but", "in", "on", "at", "to", "for", "of", "with", "by". Removing them creates cleaner, more focused URLs.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens are generally recommended for SEO as search engines treat them as word separators. Underscores are treated as part of the word by some search engines.
Does this handle accented characters?
Yes! The tool converts accented characters to their ASCII equivalents (e.g., é becomes e, ñ becomes n).
