🔗 URL Slug Generator
Convert text to clean URL slugs. Turkish character support — free, instant, no sign-up.
📋 When to Use the URL Slug Generator
The URL Slug Generator is ideal when you need clean, readable URLs for your website — whether you're publishing a blog post, creating product pages, setting up a CMS, or building an e-commerce site. Use it when you have Turkish text that needs proper transliteration (ç→c, ğ→g, ı→i, ö→o, ş→s, ü→u), when you want SEO-friendly permalinks without manual editing, or when you need to batch-convert titles to slugs. Everything processes in your browser for maximum privacy.
⚙️ How the URL Slug Generator Works
The URL Slug Generator processes your input using a transformation pipeline that runs entirely in your browser. When you type or paste text, JavaScript applies these steps in sequence: (1) converts the text to lowercase, (2) maps Turkish characters to their ASCII equivalents (ç→c, ğ→g, ı→i, İ→i, ö→o, ş→s, ü→u, and their uppercase counterparts), (3) replaces any non-alphanumeric character with a hyphen, (4) collapses consecutive hyphens into a single hyphen, and (5) trims leading and trailing hyphens. The result is a clean, URL-safe slug ready for use in any CMS or web framework. No data is ever sent to any server — the entire pipeline stays on your device.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug and why does it matter for SEO?
A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable format (e.g., /blog/how-to-make-coffee). Search engines use slugs to understand page content — clean, keyword-rich slugs improve click-through rates and rankings. This tool generates SEO-optimized slugs automatically: lowercase, hyphen-separated, with no special characters or spaces.
How does the Turkish character mapping work?
The tool includes a complete 12-character Turkish mapping: ç→c, Ç→c, ğ→g, Ğ→g, ı→i, İ→i, ö→o, Ö→o, ş→s, Ş→s, ü→u, Ü→u. This ensures Turkish text like "Türkçe Karakterler ve İşlemler" becomes "turkce-karakterler-ve-islemler" — fully ASCII and URL-safe while remaining readable.
Can I use this for non-Turkish text too?
Absolutely! The tool works with any language. It lowercases all text, strips accents from common Latin-script characters (via Unicode normalization), and replaces special characters with hyphens. English, German, French, Spanish, and other Latin-based languages all produce clean slugs. The Turkish mapping is an additional layer for precision.
Is my text sent to any server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. The transformation pipeline — lowercase, Turkish character mapping, special character replacement, hyphen collapsing — runs locally. No data is ever uploaded, transmitted, or stored on any server. You can even use the tool offline after the page loads.
