Text to Slug Converter — Free Online Tool

The Text to Slug Converter turns a title into a clean URL slug: lowercase, spaces replaced with hyphens, accents folded to their plain ASCII equivalents, punctuation and symbols stripped, and repeated or trailing hyphens collapsed. "Café Prices in Islamabad (2026)!" becomes cafe-prices-in-islamabad-2026, which is what a URL, a filename, or a CSS class needs to be.

Slugs matter more for SEO than their length suggests. Google reads words in a URL, so a descriptive slug gives a small ranking and click-through signal, while an auto-generated ?p=4172 gives none. Hyphens are the separator Google treats as a word boundary; underscores are not, which is why post_title_here reads as one token and post-title-here reads as three. Keeping slugs short and dropping filler words generally makes them stronger, not weaker.

The one real hazard is changing a slug on a page that is already live and indexed. The old URL becomes a 404 and any links pointing at it stop passing value unless you add a 301 redirect from the old slug to the new one. Getting the slug right before publishing avoids the whole problem.
