Convert Text to URL Slug

Transform any text into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug with our free converter. Slugs are the URL-friendly versions of titles that appear in your website addresses.

**What is a URL Slug?**

A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a page in human-readable form. For example, in "texttools.cc/text-to-slug-converter", the slug is "text-to-slug-converter". Good slugs are lowercase, hyphen-separated, and free of special characters.

**Slug Conversion Rules:**
- Convert to lowercase
- Replace spaces with hyphens (-)
- Remove special characters (!@#$%^&*)
- Remove or convert accented characters (e with accent -> e)
- Remove consecutive hyphens
- Trim leading and trailing hyphens

**Why Good Slugs Matter:**

**SEO Benefits:**
- Search engines can read words in URLs
- Users can understand page content from the URL
- Slugs can contain keywords for ranking
- Clean URLs are more likely to be clicked

**User Experience:**
- Easy to read and remember
- Simple to share verbally
- Professional appearance
- Works in all browsers and systems

**Examples of Slug Conversion:**
- "Hello World!" -> hello-world
- "My Blog Post #1" -> my-blog-post-1
- "Cafe & Restaurant Guide" -> cafe-restaurant-guide
- "100% Free Tools" -> 100-free-tools

**How It Works:**

Enter any text - a blog title, product name, or article heading - and our tool instantly generates a clean slug. Accented characters are normalized, special characters removed, and spaces converted to hyphens.
