This tool runs entirely in your browser. What you paste is processed on your device and is never sent to a server, so it is safe to use with tokens, keys and unpublished text.

How it works

  1. Paste the titles, one per line.
  2. Choose a hyphen or an underscore. Hyphens are what search engines expect.
  3. Set a length if your URLs have one; it cuts at a word rather than mid-word.
  4. Copy the slugs.

Frequently asked questions

How are accents handled?
Folded to the letter underneath: café becomes cafe. The German and Nordic letters take the spellings those languages actually use — ü becomes ue, ß becomes ss, ø becomes oe — because uber and grosse are what a German reader expects to see, not ubr or gross.
Can a slug be in Japanese?
Yes, and it is perfectly legal. Turn on “keep letters outside the Latin alphabet” and the characters stay; browsers show them properly and only the raw URL looks encoded. It reads far better than a transliteration.
What if two titles give the same slug?
The second gets a -2, the third a -3. A list of titles usually becomes a list of URLs, and two of those must not be the same.
Why does it cut at a word?
Because a slug truncated mid-word reads as a typo. If the cut would fall past halfway, it backs up to the last separator instead.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. It runs in your browser, so what you paste stays on your computer.
