What is a slug?
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a title or phrase — lowercase, no spaces or accents, with words separated by hyphens (or another separator), like turning "My First Blog Post!" into "my-first-blog-post". Pixvert's text to slug converter automates this transformation instantly, handling accents, punctuation, and casing correctly.
Slugs are what you see in the URL of most blog posts, product pages, and articles — they need to be readable, keyword-friendly for SEO, and free of characters that could break a URL or require encoding, unlike a raw title that might contain spaces, apostrophes, or accented letters.
Generating a slug manually means stripping accents, replacing spaces, and removing invalid characters correctly for every single title — tedious and error-prone across dozens of pages. This tool handles the conversion consistently and lets you choose the separator style that matches your site's convention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are hyphens preferred over underscores in URL slugs?
Search engines treat a hyphen as a word separator but often treat an underscore as joining two words together, which is why hyphens are the standard recommendation for SEO-friendly URLs.
Does this tool remove accented characters?
Yes, accents and diacritics are automatically converted to their closest plain-letter equivalent (é→e, ñ→n, ü→u) before generating the slug.
Is my text sent to a server?
No, all conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never transmitted or stored.
What happens to punctuation and special characters?
Punctuation, symbols, and any character that isn't a letter, number, or the chosen separator are removed entirely from the output.
Can I use this for non-English text?
Yes, the tool works with any Unicode text and converts accented or non-Latin characters using their closest plain-letter representation where applicable.
Will the slug always be lowercase?
Yes, slugs are generated in lowercase by convention, since URLs are case-sensitive on some servers and lowercase avoids ambiguity.
