What is a Text to Slug Converter?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL slug?

A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human-readable form. For example, in "neotoolkit.com/tools/text-to-slug", the slug is "text-to-slug". Good slugs improve SEO and make URLs easier to understand.

What is kebab-case?

Kebab-case (also called hyphen-case or dash-case) writes words in lowercase with hyphens between them, like "my-blog-post". It is the most common format for URL slugs because it is readable and SEO-friendly.

What is the difference between snake_case and kebab-case?

snake_case uses underscores between lowercase words (like "my_blog_post"), while kebab-case uses hyphens (like "my-blog-post"). snake_case is popular in programming languages like Python, while kebab-case is the standard for URLs.

What are stop words and why remove them?

Stop words are common words like "a", "an", "the", "of", "and", "in" that add little SEO value. Removing them creates shorter, cleaner slugs. For example, "The Best Guide to SEO" becomes "best-guide-seo" instead of "the-best-guide-to-seo".

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, NeoToolkit's Text to Slug Converter is completely free. All processing happens in your browser — no data is sent to any server.

Can I use a custom separator?
