Slugify text

Convert arbitrary titles into URL slugs: lowercase, accent-stripped, with spaces and punctuation replaced by hyphens. The pipeline matches the slug rules used elsewhere in Tool Plaza for URI generation.

Algorithm

1. Normalize and trim input
2. Remove diacritics (NFD)
3. Replace non-alphanumeric runs with a separator (default hyphen)
4. Collapse duplicate separators and trim edges

When to use it

• Preview blog post permalinks before publishing
• Generate consistent file names from human titles
• Batch-convert product names for static site generators

Limitations

Empty or punctuation-only input returns an error. The tool does not check slug uniqueness against your CMS or reserved URL paths.

Example

Hello World! slugifies to hello-world. Accented titles such as Café résumé become cafe-resume after diacritic removal and hyphenation. Punctuation-only input is rejected so you do not publish empty permalinks; always review uniqueness in your CMS after generating a candidate slug.
