Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a web address that comes after the domain name, such as "/my-blog-post". Slugs use only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (or underscores) to be URL-safe and SEO-friendly.
Does this tool remove accents and diacritics?
Yes, when the "Remove accents" option is enabled (on by default). It uses Unicode NFD normalization to strip diacritical marks, turning characters like "e" into "e" and "u" into "u".
Can I use underscores instead of hyphens?
Yes. Use the separator toggle to switch between hyphens (-) and underscores (_). Hyphens are generally preferred for SEO.
Is there a length limit?
The tool has no length limit, but most SEO best practices recommend keeping slugs under 60 characters for readability and search engine optimization.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server or stored anywhere.
Why are hyphens better than underscores for SEO?
Google treats hyphens as word separators but treats underscores as word joiners. "my-blog-post" is read as three words, while "my_blog_post" is treated as one. Hyphens are generally preferred for URLs.
Does this work on mobile devices?
Yes. The slug generator runs entirely in your browser and works on any device with a modern browser, including phones and tablets.
