How to use Convert Text to URL Slug
- 1. Paste the title or phrase. Paste or type the title or phrase you want turned into a slug into the input pane. Convert Text to URL Slug lowercases it and strips characters a URL can't carry cleanly.
- 2. Set the Separator. Type the character you want joining words into Separator, typically a hyphen. A hyphen matches most blogging platforms' conventions, while an underscore suits systems that reserve hyphens for other uses.
- 3. Copy the finished slug. Click copy on the output pane and use the slug as a blog post URL, a permalink or a filename that needs to stay clean and lowercase.
When to use Convert Text to URL Slug
Convert Text to URL Slug turns a title like 'Hello, World!' into a clean, lowercase, hyphenated string safe to use in a URL path. It strips accents and punctuation while keeping the words in order and readable.
- Generating a slug for a blog post URL. A blog platform needs a clean permalink derived from the article's title, without spaces, capital letters or punctuation that would need extra encoding in the address bar.
- Creating a filename-safe version of a title. Saving a document under its original title can hit filesystem restrictions on punctuation. Slugifying the title first produces a filename that works across every operating system.
- Building a permalink from an article headline. A CMS that auto-generates permalinks from headlines sometimes needs a manual override. Converting the headline to a slug here gives full control over the resulting URL path.
Examples

hello-world
