Text to Slug Converter Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL slug?

A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable format. For example, in 'example.com/blog/my-first-post', 'my-first-post' is the slug. Slugs use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens to create clean, SEO-friendly URLs.

Which format should I use for my project?

Kebab-case (with hyphens) is the standard for URLs and SEO. Snake_case (with underscores) is common for programming variables and database fields. CamelCase and PascalCase are used in programming for function and class names respectively. Choose based on your platform's conventions.

How are accents and special characters handled?

The converter automatically removes diacritical marks from characters (e.g., é becomes e, ñ becomes n) and filters out special characters that aren't URL-safe. This ensures maximum compatibility across all platforms and systems while maintaining readability.

Why should I use slugs instead of spaces?

URLs cannot contain spaces; they must be encoded as %20 or similar, which looks unprofessional and can cause compatibility issues. Slugs replace spaces with hyphens or underscores, creating clean, readable URLs that are better for SEO and user experience.

Can I customize the slug format?

Yes! You can choose from multiple format presets including kebab-case, snake_case, camelCase, PascalCase, dot.case, and path/case. Each format follows industry conventions for different use cases, from URLs to programming identifiers.

Slug Best Practices

  • Use kebab-case for SEO-friendly URLs (most common)
  • Keep slugs short but descriptive (3-5 words ideal)
  • Avoid numbers at the start of slugs when possible)
  • Use meaningful words instead of generic terms
  • Test slugs for readability before publishing
  • Consider your target audience when choosing format
