Text to Slug Converter

What is the Text to Slug Tool?

The Text to Slug tool is a free online converter designed to transform a string of text into a "slug" format, which is a simplified and URL-friendly version of the text. Slugs are used in web development to create readable and SEO-friendly URLs for web pages based on the title or name of the content.

Here's a breakdown of how the process generally works:

• Lowercasing: All characters in the text are converted to lowercase.
• Removing Special Characters: Characters that are not alphanumeric (e.g., punctuation, symbols) are removed.
• Replacing Spaces with Hyphens: All spaces are replaced with hyphens (-).
• Removing Accents: Accented characters are converted to their non-accented counterparts. For example, é becomes e.
• Eliminating Stop Words (optional): Common words like "and", "or", "the", etc., might be removed to make the slug shorter and more relevant.

For example:

• Text: "Hello, World!"
• Slug: "hello-world"
