What is the Text to Slug?
The Text to Slug tool converts any title, headline or sentence into a clean URL slug: lowercase, hyphen-separated, ASCII-safe and stripped of punctuation. Every stroke updates the slug in real time.
A good slug is short, descriptive and readable. Search engines use it as a ranking signal and humans use it to decide whether to click, so getting it right matters more than most writers realise.
Who is the Text to Slug for?
Bloggers publishing new posts, content teams migrating URLs, developers building CMS templates, SEO specialists tuning permalinks, and product teams creating handle-based identifiers.
Why use the Text to Slug?
- Instant, live slug preview as you type.
- Transliterates accented and non-English characters to safe ASCII.
- Strips punctuation, emojis and control characters.
- Collapses multiple hyphens and trims leading/trailing dashes.
- Runs entirely in your browser.
When should I use the Text to Slug?
- Publishing a new blog post and needing a clean URL.
- Migrating old articles to a new URL structure.
- Creating slugs for products, categories or tags in a CMS.
- Generating handles for user profiles or workspaces.
- Cleaning up ugly auto-generated URLs.
Is the Text to Slug safe and private?
Yes. This tool runs entirely inside your browser - your text is never uploaded, stored on our servers or shared with third parties. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will keep working. That makes it safe for confidential notes, drafts, private messages and unpublished work.
How do I get the best results from the Text to Slug?
- Keep slugs under about 60 characters where possible.
- Include your primary keyword near the start of the slug.
- Skip stop words like ‘the’, ‘a’ and ‘of’ - they add length without value.
- Avoid dates in slugs unless the content is genuinely time-based.
Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?
A slug is the human-readable part of a URL that comes after the domain - for example ‘text-to-slug’ in txtly.site/text-to-slug.
Does it handle accented characters?
Yes. Accented characters like ‘é’ and ‘ñ’ are transliterated to ASCII so the slug stays URL-safe.
What is a good slug length?
Aim for 3–6 meaningful words. Short slugs rank and share better than long ones packed with keywords.
Are the slugs safe to use in URLs?
Yes. Only lowercase letters, digits and hyphens are kept - nothing that would need URL-encoding.
