Text to Slug
Turn titles into clean, SEO-friendly URL slugs
The Text to Slug converter is a free, no sign-up required tool that turns any title or phrase into a clean, URL-ready slug in seconds. It strips spaces, special characters, and capitalization, replacing them with hyphens to create search-engine-friendly links. Bloggers, developers, and SEO specialists use it daily to format post titles and page URLs correctly.
Why do websites need URL slugs?
URL slugs are the readable part of a web address that describes a page's content in a search-engine-friendly format. Clean slugs improve how well search engines understand and rank a page, and they make links easier for people to read and remember. Messy URLs full of spaces, symbols, or random characters can hurt both usability and SEO performance.

Frequently asked questions
Is Text to Slug free to use?
Yes, the converter is completely free with no sign-up required, and you can generate unlimited slugs. There are no hidden fees or usage caps.
Does it remove special characters automatically?
Yes, symbols, punctuation, and accented characters are stripped or converted so the resulting slug stays clean and URL-safe. This prevents broken links caused by unsupported characters.
Can I choose underscores instead of hyphens?
Yes, while hyphens are the SEO-recommended default, you can switch the separator to underscores if your platform requires it. This gives you flexibility for different content management systems.
Will the slug always match my original title exactly?
Not exactly, since spaces become hyphens and capitalization is converted to lowercase for consistency. The core wording stays recognizable while the formatting becomes URL-friendly.
