What is a URL slug?
A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a page, like "how-to-merge-pdf" in craftora.dev/how-to-merge-pdf. A clean slug is short, lowercase, and uses hyphens between words.

Text to Slug FAQ
How do I create an SEO-friendly slug?
Enter your title and Craftora produces a lowercase, hyphen-separated slug with special characters removed. Keep it short and keyword-focused for the best results. It is free and runs in your browser.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in a URL?
Hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators but reads underscores as joining words together, so hyphens are the SEO standard for slugs. Craftora defaults to hyphens.
Does it handle accented and non-English characters?
Yes. Accented letters are converted to their plain equivalents (for example é becomes e), and other special characters are removed, so the slug stays clean and URL-safe.
Is my text private?
Yes. The slug is generated entirely in your browser on your own device. Your text is never sent to a server.
Do I need to sign up?
No. The text to slug tool is free with no account and no limits.
