Tips from how Slug Generator actually works, and mistakes worth avoiding.
Pro tips
- Keep a working copy of your input before running a destructive operation — undo is a browser back-button, not a history stack.
- When something looks wrong, check the start of the input first — most parsing errors cascade from one early character.
- Bookmark this page. It is a static URL with no login, so it works the same way every time you need it.
Common mistakes
- Assuming a paid tool would give a more "official" result — the underlying parsing logic is the same either way.
- Not checking for trailing commas, smart quotes, or copy-pasted invisible characters — the most common source of a confusing error.
- Working directly on the only copy of an important file instead of a duplicate.
Frequently asked questions
About Slug Generator and how Tarumak Studio works.
What characters are removed from the slug?
All characters except a-z, 0-9, hyphens, and underscores are removed. Accented characters (é, ñ, ü) are converted to their ASCII equivalents before removal.
Can I choose underscores instead of hyphens?
Yes — toggle between hyphen-separated and underscore_separated output using the buttons above the result.
What is a URL slug used for?
A slug is the URL-safe version of a page title used in website addresses. For example 'How to Create a QR Code' becomes how-to-create-a-qr-code.
Is Slug Generator really free?
Yes — completely free, with no usage limits, no watermarks and no premium wall. Every tool on Tarumak Studio is free to use.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no login and no email required. Open the tool and use it immediately.
Is my input sent to a server?
No. Slug Generator processes everything you type or paste locally in your browser — nothing is ever sent to a server.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The tool runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone — no app install needed.
