How to use

  1. 1 Type or paste the source text (article title, product name, etc.).
  2. 2 Pick the separator and toggle lowercase, stopword stripping, and max length as needed.
  3. 3 Copy the generated slug and use it in your URL.

Why use this tool

  • Handles diacritics — Vietnamese, French, German, Spanish, Scandinavian characters all transliterate to ASCII.
  • Optional stopword removal trims SEO-empty words like "the", "and", "of".
  • Max length truncation respects word boundaries to avoid mid-word cuts.
  • Runs entirely in your browser — your content stays private.

Frequently asked questions

What characters survive the slug conversion?

Only ASCII letters (A-Z, a-z), digits (0-9), and your chosen separator. Everything else is either transliterated (é → e) or replaced with the separator.

Will my Vietnamese / Chinese / Japanese text transliterate correctly?

Vietnamese diacritics (á à ạ ả ã â…) and Đ/đ are fully supported. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters do not have a single canonical romanization and will be stripped — paste the romanized form (pinyin, romaji) instead.

Are slugs case-sensitive on the web?

Path segments are technically case-sensitive in HTTP, but most sites lowercase slugs for SEO consistency. Keep "Lowercase" enabled unless you have a specific reason not to.

What does max length do exactly?

It truncates after N characters, then strips any trailing separator so you do not end up with "my-blog-post-".

What is Slugify URL Generator?

A Slugify URL Generator is a tool that converts arbitrary text into a clean URL slug. It transliterates accented and diacritic characters to plain ASCII, strips punctuation, and joins words into a hyphenated, lowercase string, with an optional pass to remove common stopwords. It runs entirely in the browser, so the input text stays on the user's device.

Features

Diacritic transliteration

Turns accented characters (é, ñ, ü) into their plain-ASCII equivalents.

Optional stopword removal

Strip filler words (a, the, and) for shorter, keyword-focused slugs.
