Tools / URL slug generator

URL slug generator

Converts a headline into a URL-safe slug. Accented characters are reduced to their base letters, so “Café Münster” becomes “cafe-munster” rather than losing those letters entirely.

Runs entirely in your browser

About this tool

A URL slug is the human-readable, hyphenated part of a URL — the “my-post-title” in /blog/my-post-title. This tool turns a headline or title into a clean, lowercase, hyphenated slug suitable for permalinks and identifiers.

It handles accents sensibly: characters like é and ü are reduced to their base letters, so “Café Münster” becomes “cafe-munster” rather than dropping those letters and mangling the word. Spaces and punctuation become hyphens, and the result is trimmed to a tidy, URL-safe string.

It runs in your browser, so it is instant. Use it when creating pages, blog posts or resource identifiers where you want a readable, consistent slug rather than an auto-generated one.

Frequently asked questions

What is a URL slug?
The readable, hyphenated portion of a URL that identifies a page, such as “about-our-team”. Clean slugs are better for readability and SEO than opaque IDs.

It reduces them to their base letters, so “Café Münster” becomes “cafe-munster” rather than losing those characters entirely.
What happens to spaces and punctuation?
They are converted to hyphens (or removed), producing a lowercase, URL-safe string with no unsafe characters.
Is it generated locally?
Yes. It runs in your browser, so your titles are not uploaded.
