How to use Text to Slug

  1. Type a page title such as Free Online Tools.
  2. Choose hyphens or underscores and adjust the letter options if needed.
  3. Copy the result, such as free-online-tools, for use in a page address.

A closer look

A slug is the readable name at the end of many web addresses. This tool turns punctuation and gaps into a separator, removes repeated separators, and trims them from the ends. Common accented Latin letters are simplified, and lowercase is optional. Letters and numbers from other writing systems can be retained; the English letters/numbers option removes them rather than translating them.

A practical example

With lowercase and hyphens selected, Summer Sale 2026! becomes summer-sale-2026. This creates a path name; it does not publish a webpage.

A useful tip

Keep names short and meaningful. This tool creates a name; it does not create a page, reserve an address, or check whether another page already uses it.

Good questions. Simple answers.

Will café become cafe?

Yes. Common combining accents are removed. Not every special letter has a plain Latin equivalent.

Can I keep non-English titles?

Yes. Leave English letters and numbers only unchecked. A browser may display those characters in an encoded form inside an address.
