URL Slug Generator

Text

Paste a title or sentence and get back a URL-safe slug. Diacritics are stripped (café → cafe), whitespace and punctuation collapse into a chosen separator (- _ .), and you can cap the length without cutting a word mid-slug. Optional 'preserve Unicode' keeps Korean / Japanese / Chinese / Cyrillic characters intact for native-language URLs.

How to use

  1. Type or paste your title.
  2. Pick a separator (- is standard, _ for filenames, . for some URLs).
  3. Set a max length (0 = no limit).
  4. Optionally preserve non-Latin characters.

Frequently asked questions

What does 'preserve Unicode' do?
Off (default): non-Latin characters are removed, so '안녕 World' becomes 'world'. On: they're kept and only punctuation / symbols are dropped, giving '안녕-world'.
How is the max length applied?
The slug is truncated at the max length, then the trailing partial word is removed so the slug ends on a clean separator. This avoids URLs that cut a word in half.
Why are accents stripped?
Many browsers and tools URL-encode accents into percent escapes ('café' → 'caf%C3%A9'), which looks ugly. Stripping with NFKD normalization gives a readable ASCII slug.
Is the input stored?
Only in your browser. Slugs are generated locally; nothing is sent anywhere.
