Diacritics and International Accents
Accented characters like é, ñ, ü, and special ligatures like ß and æ are transliterated into their ASCII Latin equivalents (e, n, u, ss, ae) before symbol stripping.
Special Symbol Conversions
The ampersand (&) and at-sign (@) are converted to 'and' and 'at' to preserve semantic clarity rather than being stripped out completely.
Multiple Adjacent Delimiters
Consecutive punctuation marks, symbols, and whitespace are collapsed into a single separator to prevent ugly URLs with repeated hyphens.
How it works
- Normalizes the string using Unicode NFD decomposition to split base letters from combining diacritical marks.
- Replaces common symbols (&, @) with readable English word equivalents.
- Strips non-alphanumeric characters and splits the input into tokens.
- Filters stop words if configured, transforms casing (lowercase or uppercase), and joins with your chosen delimiter.

Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the human-readable, hyphenated part at the end of a web address that identifies a specific page or article (e.g., 'what-is-next-js-15-and-turbopack').
Why are hyphens preferred over underscores for SEO?
Major search engines like Google treat hyphens as word separators, whereas underscores may concatenate words together into a single token in search indexes.
Can I generate slugs for a list of multiple titles at once?
Yes. With multi-line mode enabled by default, each line in your input is treated as a distinct title and converted into its own slug on a new line.
