Text to Slug

Is there a limit on how much text I can process?

You can process as much text as you need — the tool runs entirely in your browser with no signup or usage limits.

Is my text sent to a server?

No, processing happens entirely client-side in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored.

What is a URL slug?

A slug is the readable, URL-friendly part of a web address that identifies a specific page — typically lowercase words separated by hyphens, like "how-to-convert-text-to-slug".

Why should I use hyphens instead of underscores in a slug?

Google and most search engines treat hyphens as word separators but often read underscores as joining words together — hyphenated slugs are generally considered better for SEO.

Does this tool remove special characters and accents?

Yes, it strips punctuation, symbols, and typically converts accented characters (like é or ñ) to their closest plain-text equivalent so the slug stays URL-safe.

Does it handle spaces automatically?

Yes, spaces are automatically converted to hyphens, and multiple consecutive spaces are collapsed into a single hyphen.

Should a slug include stop words like 'a', 'the', or 'and'?

Many SEO best practices recommend removing unnecessary stop words to keep slugs short and keyword-focused, though this depends on your specific content and platform conventions.

How long should a URL slug be?

Shorter is generally better for readability and SEO — many guidelines suggest keeping slugs under roughly 60 characters, focused on the page's key terms.

Does this work for non-English text?

Yes, though results depend on the language — accented and non-Latin characters are typically transliterated or removed to produce a clean, URL-safe slug.

Can I use this for WordPress or other CMS platforms?

Yes — the output format matches standard slug conventions used by WordPress, Shopify, and most other content management systems.
