Q: Is my data secure?
Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser. No data is ever sent to any server.
Q: What characters are removed from slugs?
Special characters, punctuation, and non-ASCII characters are removed or transliterated. Spaces are replaced with the chosen separator (hyphen, underscore, or dot). Only alphanumeric characters and the separator remain.
Q: Why are hyphens preferred over underscores in URLs?
Google treats hyphens as word separators but treats underscores as word joiners. This means "my-blog-post" is read as three separate words, improving SEO, while "my_blog_post" is treated as one word.
Q: Does it handle non-English characters?
The tool removes non-ASCII characters to ensure URL compatibility. For best results with non-English text, consider transliterating characters before generating the slug (e.g., "u" for "ue").
