How to make a URL slug

  1. Paste your titles

    Type or paste a heading, file name or product name, one per line. Press Sample to see three worked examples, including one with accents and punctuation.

  2. Set the rules

    Choose hyphen or underscore, keep Lowercase on for web addresses, and tick Keep Tamil and other scripts if the text is Tamil, Hindi or another script that should stay readable.

  3. Copy the slugs

    Slugs appear on the right as you type, one per line in the same order as your input. Copy all takes the whole list.

Good to know

  • Each line becomes its own slug, so you can paste a whole list of article titles and copy the slugs back in the same order. Turn off One slug per line to join everything into a single slug.
  • Leading and trailing separators are trimmed and repeated separators are collapsed, so a title such as “Rice & Sambar: My Mother's Recipe” gives rice-and-sambar-my-mothers-recipe.
  • Unicode slugs work in modern browsers and show readably in the address bar, but they are percent-encoded when copied as a link, so they become long. ASCII slugs are the safer choice for sharing.
  • Keep Tamil and other scripts preserves combining marks such as Tamil vowel signs, so letters are not broken apart.
  • Numbers are always kept, so version strings and dates survive: “Release 2.4 (May 2026)” becomes release-2-4-may-2026.
  • Everything runs in your browser as you type. Nothing is uploaded.

Questions people ask

What is a slug?

The readable part of a web address that names a page, such as ten-tips-for-tamil-typing in /blog/ten-tips-for-tamil-typing. Lower case letters, digits and hyphens are the safe set, and that is what this tool produces by default.

Hyphens or underscores?

Hyphens for URLs. Search engines treat a hyphen as a word break and an underscore as part of the word, so my-page is read as two words and my_page as one. Underscores suit file names, variables and database keys.

Why did my Tamil or Hindi text disappear?

With Keep Tamil and other scripts off, only a to z and 0 to 9 survive. Tick it and letters, digits and vowel signs from any script are kept, while spaces and punctuation still become the separator.

What happens to accents and punctuation?

Accented Latin letters are folded to plain ones, so é becomes e and ñ becomes n. An ampersand becomes and, quotes are dropped, and any other run of punctuation or spaces becomes one separator.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser as you type. Nothing is sent to a server.
