About slugify.me

A simple tool for turning text into clean, URL-friendly slugs

slugify.me converts titles, phrases, filenames, and other text identifiers in real time. It is designed to be fast, distraction-free, and easy to understand.

Why it was built

I built this because I like generating slug names for my files, folders, and technical documentation URLs. Whenever I needed a slug, all the online options were obscure websites that were mini tools and part of a larger product or had ads (I have an ad blocker, but that is beside the point). I could always make a Python script or call an API, but I wanted to make something better than the tools I found on the internet. I came across this domain, and it was available. So, I thought it would be perfect to build a simple tool that makes slugs, has no ads, is open source, and easy to use.
