FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about the Slug Generator.

What does the Slug Generator do?

It turns a title into a clean, URL-safe slug by stripping accents and punctuation and joining the words with a hyphen or underscore.

Is the Slug Generator free to use?

Yes. It's free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it.

Is my title safe when I use this tool?

Yes. The title you type is processed entirely on your own device — nothing is sent to a server.

What happens to accented letters like é or ñ?

They're converted to their plain-letter equivalents (é becomes e, ñ becomes n) rather than removed, so the word stays readable.

Can I use an underscore instead of a hyphen?

Yes. Choose "underscore ( _ )" from the Separator dropdown instead of the default hyphen.

Does the slug update as I type, or do I need to click a button?

It updates live as you type — there's no button to press.

Can I keep numbers in the slug?

Yes. "Keep numbers" is on by default; turn it off if you want numbers stripped out entirely.

Does the Slug Generator have any limitations?

It's built for everyday titles and headings; extremely unusual scripts or symbols may not always have a clean plain-letter equivalent.
