What is URL Slug Generator?

URL Slug Generator transforms titles, headlines, and sentences into clean, human-readable URL slugs. It applies Unicode NFKD normalization to strip combining diacritics and accents (turning é into e), converts text to lowercase, removes punctuation and non-alphanumeric symbols, and collapses spaces into hyphens or underscores. Ideal for generating clean permalinks for blogs, documentation, and e-commerce.

How to use URL Slug Generator

  1. 1Type or paste your headline, title, or filename into the input box.
  2. 2Select your desired separator style (Hyphens for web URLs or Underscores for filenames).
  3. 3Copy the generated clean slug to your clipboard.

Key features

NFKD Unicode Normalization

Decomposes accented international glyphs (e.g. café to cafe) for clean Latin URL permalinks.

Punctuation & Symbol Removal

Strips brackets, question marks, currency signs, and quotes that break URL paths.

Hyphen & Underscore Modes

Toggle between standard SEO hyphen separators (-) and database/filename underscore separators (_).

Separator Deduplication & Trimming

Collapses redundant whitespace into single separators and strips leading/trailing dashes.

Frequently asked questions

Major search engines treat hyphens (-) as word separators (e.g. running-shoes represents two separate words), whereas underscores (_) were historically treated as joining characters (running_shoes).
Characters outside the basic Latin alphabet that cannot be decomposed via NFKD normalization are stripped by the alphanumeric filter ([^a-z0-9\s-_]).
No. The slug generator cleans and formats the string. For recommended permalink length guidelines (under 75 characters), check the result in the URL Length Checker.
