Building content URLs or file names? On Tap's Slug Generator converts titles into clean, URL-safe slugs following web best practices.
What it does:
• Converts spaces to hyphens (or underscores)
• Removes special characters and punctuation
• Converts to lowercase
• Handles multiple spaces and duplicate separators
• Removes accents and diacritics (optional)
• Trims leading/trailing separators
• Copy result with one click
Examples:
• "How to Build a Website in 2026" → "how-to-build-a-website-in-2026"
• "Café & Restaurant Guide!" → "cafe-restaurant-guide"
• "Best Apps (Updated 2026)" → "best-apps-updated-2026"
Why slugs matter:
• SEO - search engines prefer readable, descriptive URLs
• User experience - people can guess what the page is about from URL
• Shareability - clean URLs look better when shared
• Compatibility - works across all browsers and systems
Use cases:
• Blog post URLs
• Product page slugs
• File naming (downloads, images)
• API endpoint paths
• Database keys based on titles
• Social media handles
Follows best practices: lowercase, hyphen-separated, no special characters. The standard that frameworks like WordPress, Ghost, and static site generators use.
