Turn a title or heading into a clean, hyphenated URL slug, instantly, right in your browser. Nothing you type here is ever uploaded to Brekzy.
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies one specific page, sitting after the domain name, like the "how-to-build-a-website" in example.com/how-to-build-a-website. Instead of a database ID or a string of random characters, a slug is built from words, so anyone glancing at the address, whether a visitor or a search engine, can tell roughly what the page is about before the page even loads.
Paste in a title or heading and the tool runs it through a single, consistent transformation. Accented letters are decomposed and their accent marks removed, so "café" becomes "cafe." The text is lowercased, unless you turn that option off. Anything that isn't a letter or a number, spaces, punctuation, symbols, gets converted into a hyphen, which is what turns "Website Design 101!" into "website-design-101" in one pass rather than several separate cleanup steps. Any run of repeated hyphens that results from that step is then collapsed into a single hyphen, and any hyphen left dangling at the very start or end of the slug is trimmed off.
A readable URL helps both people and search engines understand what a page covers before they open it. A link like /slug-generator/ tells a visitor exactly what they're clicking on, in a way a link like /?p=482 never will, and search results tend to display the URL alongside the title, so a clear slug reinforces relevance right there on the results page. That said, more words isn't automatically better: a slug stuffed with every possible keyword phrase reads as spammy rather than descriptive, and an overly long slug gets truncated in search results anyway, so the goal is a short, accurate label, not the longest one you can build.
For the widest compatibility across browsers, servers, and sharing tools, stick to lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens in a slug intended for general use, the same restricted character set most platforms assume by default. Non-ASCII characters, like accented letters or non-Latin scripts, aren't invalid in a URL, but they get percent-encoded when the link is shared or typed elsewhere, which can turn a clean-looking slug into an unreadable string of %XX sequences. This tool strips accents from Latin-script text for exactly that reason, while still preserving non-Latin scripts, like Cyrillic, Arabic, or Japanese, faithfully as their original Unicode letters rather than discarding or mangling them, since there's no equivalent unaccented form to fall back on for those scripts.
A slug generator takes a piece of text, like a blog post title or page heading, and rewrites it into the short, hyphenated, lowercase format used in a URL. "How to Build a Website in 2026!" becomes "how-to-build-a-website-in-2026," a version that's readable, predictable, and safe to put directly into a web address.
Yes. Punctuation and symbols, like exclamation points, commas, ampersands, and quotation marks, are converted into hyphens rather than being left in place or silently dropped, so a title full of punctuation still comes out as a clean, valid slug.
Yes, for Latin-script text. Accented characters are decomposed and their accent marks stripped, so "café" becomes "cafe" and "déjà vu" becomes "deja-vu." Non-Latin scripts, like Cyrillic, Arabic, or Japanese, don't have an equivalent unaccented form, so those are preserved as their original characters instead of being transliterated into Latin letters.
Yes, via the "Preserve numbers" option, which is turned on by default. With it on, digits stay in the slug exactly where they appeared, like "10-best-tools-for-developers." Turn it off and every digit is stripped out of the result entirely.
No. The slug is built entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to Brekzy, never logged, and never stored, whether you close the tab right away or leave it open all day.
Yes. The output matches the format WordPress expects for a post or page slug, lowercase words separated by hyphens, so you can paste the result straight into the URL/permalink field when publishing or editing a post.
Because a title often has more than one separator sitting next to each other after punctuation is converted, like a comma followed by a space. Left alone, that would produce something like "hello--world" instead of the cleaner "hello-world," so runs of hyphens are always collapsed down to a single one.
