Free Slug Generator

How It Works

The slug generator runs entirely in your browser with zero external libraries. It converts text to URL-safe slugs using a hand-written transliteration table for Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin special characters, combined with the browser's built-in Unicode normalization (NFKD) for accent stripping.

1. 1
   Transliteration pass

   Each character is looked up in a built-in CHARMAP table that maps non-ASCII scripts to Latin equivalents — Cyrillic (а→a, ж→zh, ш→sh), Greek (θ→th, ψ→ps), and Latin specials (æ→ae, ß→ss, ð→d). Characters with dedicated mappings like ё→yo are handled here before any further processing.
2. 2
   Unicode normalization and accent stripping

   The browser's native String.normalize('NFKD') decomposes precomposed characters — so á becomes a + combining acute accent. A regex then strips all combining marks (Unicode range U+0300–U+036F), reducing accented Latin letters like é, ñ, and ț to their plain ASCII base.
3. 3
   Word splitting and stop-word filtering

   Remaining non-alphanumeric characters are replaced with spaces and the text is split into words. If stop-word removal is enabled, common English function words (the, and, of, in, …) are dropped from the word list. The words are then joined with your chosen separator (hyphen, underscore, or dot).
4. 4
   Length truncation and output

   If a max-length limit is set, the slug is cut at the nearest word boundary before the limit — never mid-word — by scanning back to the last separator. The final slug is displayed instantly as you type, with character and word counts shown below.
