Slug Generator
Make a URL-friendly slug from text.
How to use Slug Generator
Convert a title or phrase into a clean, lowercase URL slug with hyphen separators.
Open Slug Generator on toolpermarket — the form is ready, so type your numbers and read the result.
In the Text field, type or paste the title or phrase to turn into a slug. Punctuation and accents are removed, not transliterated.
Press Slugify to compute the result. The output appears immediately below the form. Edit a value and press the button once more to see the updated answer.
Read the result and use it as needed. If the number looks off, re-check your inputs and run it again — the math is deterministic, so the same entries always return the same answer.
Worked example. Type "My First Blog Post!" and get "my-first-blog-post" — lowercase, hyphenated, punctuation-free.
Tips for accurate results.
The result is lowercase and uses hyphens between words.
Leading, trailing and repeated hyphens are collapsed.
Non-URL-safe characters such as spaces and punctuation are stripped.
When to use Slug Generator. Building clean URLs for blog posts or pages. Generating file names from headings. Creating anchor ids that are safe to link.
When you actually reach for this
- You are turning a post title or product name into a URL-friendly identifier (a permalink or filename).
- You need a clean, lowercase, dash-separated key from messy human text for use in links or keys.
Where this tool stops being accurate
- Transliteration is lossy for some scripts; non-Latin text may collapse to empty if there is no ASCII equivalent.
- Two different titles can slugify to the same string, so you still need a uniqueness check (counter or DB constraint).
Frequently asked questions
What characters survive?
Letters, numbers and hyphens. Everything else — spaces, punctuation, underscores — is removed or turned into a hyphen, and the whole string is lowercased.
Does it handle accents?
Accented characters are stripped rather than transliterated, so "cafe" becomes "cafe" without the accent. If you need "cafe", add a transliteration step first.
Why are repeated hyphens removed?
Collapsing them keeps the slug readable and avoids empty segments in the URL, which some servers and CMSs treat as errors.
My Chinese title produced a blank slug — why?
Strict sluggers strip non-ASCII; you need a transliteration/pinyin step first, or keep a separate ID and use the slug only as a cosmetic suffix.
Two articles got the same slug — how do I fix it?
Append a short unique token (id or counter) to the duplicate, e.g. my-post-2, and enforce uniqueness at save time.
