Slug Generator
Last updated: August 28, 2026
Paste a title, get the URL slug — lowercase, spaces to hyphens, accents flattened, punctuation gone.
How it works
The text is lowercased, accented characters are mapped to their ASCII base (é → e), anything that is not a letter, number or space is dropped, and spaces collapse into single hyphens. Leading and trailing hyphens are trimmed.
Use cases
Blog post URLs from headlines. File names from document titles. Clean IDs from product names. "Café — Winter Menu!" becomes "cafe-winter-menu".

That is exactly what it is good for.
