Generate a URL slug

Turn article titles, product names, headings, labels, and phrases into clean lowercase slugs without uploading text. Choose hyphens for conventional web URLs or underscores for identifiers and filenames. Repeated separators and punctuation are collapsed, and separators are removed from both ends.

FileGizmo first applies Unicode compatibility normalization and removes common combining accent marks. It then retains lowercase ASCII letters and numbers, replacing other runs with the selected separator. This produces predictable, readable output for many Latin-script phrases. Languages that require non-Latin characters may need a dedicated transliteration policy rather than silent guesswork.

Generation runs instantly in the browser and leaves the original phrase visible. Copy the result or download it as UTF-8 text. A clean slug helps humans read URLs and keeps naming conventions consistent, but search ranking also depends on useful page content, internal links, performance, and metadata. Review generated slugs before publishing because changing established URLs later requires redirects.
