Introducing Text to Slug | Tools.Town Blog

Text to Slug is now live on Tools.Town — a tool that converts any title, heading, or phrase into a clean, URL-safe slug by lowercasing, replacing spaces with hyphens, stripping special characters, and transliterating accented characters.

Type your blog post title, get the slug — ready for your CMS, routing config, or URL structure.

What Does It Do?

URL-Safe Slug

Converts any text to lowercase, replaces spaces with hyphens, and strips characters that break URLs.

Transliteration

Accented and special characters (é → e, ñ → n, ü → u) are mapped to their ASCII equivalents.

Options

Choose hyphens or underscores as separators. Strip or preserve numbers. Max length trimming.

Google recommends hyphens over underscores as word separators in URLs for best SEO interpretation.

Why We Built It

CMS platforms, static site generators, and routing frameworks all need URL-safe slugs. Typing them manually is error-prone — you forget to lowercase something, leave a special character, or miss an accent. Text to Slug makes it mechanical: give it any title, get the right slug every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What characters are removed or replaced?

Spaces become hyphens, uppercase becomes lowercase, special characters and punctuation are stripped, and accented characters (é, ñ, ü) are transliterated to their ASCII equivalents.

Does it handle non-Latin scripts?

For Latin-script languages with accented characters, transliteration is applied. For non-Latin scripts (e.g. Arabic, Hindi), the slug is generated from the available characters.

Can I use underscores instead of hyphens?

Yes. Toggle the separator to use underscores — though hyphens are the SEO-recommended URL separator according to Google.
