Slug Generator

A 'slug' is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page. Search engines prefer slugs that are lowercase, hyphen-separated, and free of weird characters. This tool automates that cleaning process using industry-standard rules, checking your text against a regex to strip out symbols and normalize the string.

1. Type or paste your text (like a blog post title) into the input box.

• Customizable: Options to trim whitespace or keep specific characters.
• Instant Result: See the slug update in real-time as you type.

Slugification involves string normalization. We lowercase the string, replace whitespace with a defined separator (usually `-`), and remove any character that isn't a letter, number, or separator. We also normalize unicode characters to their ASCII equivalents to ensure broad compatibility.

All calculations and data processing for this tool are performed locally in your browser. UtilToolkits does not send any of your data to an external server, ensuring your information remains private and secure.
