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.
