What this cannot tell you
- A pure text operation that runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
How this calculation works
The text is lowercased, accented characters are reduced to their base letters, and every run of non-alphanumeric characters becomes a single hyphen — producing a slug that is safe and readable in a URL.
What the results mean
- Accent folding
- "Café" becomes "cafe", so the slug is plain ASCII and works everywhere.
- Single hyphens
- Runs of spaces and symbols collapse to one hyphen, with none left dangling at the ends.
Frequently asked questions
Why strip accents?
Because a slug should be predictable and typeable. Accented and non-ASCII characters can be percent-encoded into unreadable URLs, so folding them to base letters keeps the slug clean and shareable.
