Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human-readable format. For example, in "utilko.com/tools/text-to-slug", the slug is "text-to-slug".
Are accented characters handled correctly?
Yes. Characters like é, ñ, ü, and ç are automatically converted to their ASCII equivalents (e, n, u, c) so your slugs remain URL-safe.
Why should I use hyphens instead of underscores in slugs?
Google recommends hyphens as word separators in URLs because they are treated as spaces. Underscores join words together, which can hurt SEO.

About Text to Slug

The Text to Slug converter on Utilko instantly transforms any title or phrase into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug. Proper slugs are critical for search engine optimization — they tell Google what your page is about and appear in search results. A well-formed slug like "how-to-bake-sourdough-bread" is far more effective than "/page?id=1423".

Our tool handles the full conversion pipeline: it lowercases all letters, replaces spaces and special characters with hyphens, strips accents and diacritical marks, and removes consecutive hyphens. This means you get a production-ready slug every time without touching the keyboard after you paste your title.
