How are accents handled?

The input is NFKD-normalized, then diacritical marks are stripped. `café` becomes `cafe`, `naïve` becomes `naive`.

What about Chinese/Japanese/Arabic text?

Non-Latin scripts are dropped because there's no unambiguous ASCII mapping. Transliterate first with a language-specific tool if you need romanization.

Can I use underscores instead of hyphens?

Not from the UI — do a find-and-replace on the output. Hyphens are the SEO-recommended separator.

Slug

About this tool

Convert titles, filenames, or arbitrary text into clean URL slugs. Accented characters (é, ñ, ü) are stripped to their ASCII base, punctuation is removed, spaces become hyphens, and everything is lowercased. Paste multiple lines to slugify a whole list at once. Great for blog permalinks, SEO-friendly URLs, S3 keys, and file-safe identifiers.

Example

Paste the input on the left and you will get output like this:
