Convert any text to URL-friendly slug. Strips Vietnamese diacritics, special chars, and spaces.

Slug Generator converts a title (article headline, product name, blog post title) into a URL-friendly slug — lowercase, hyphens for spaces, no special characters, no diacritics. SEO-friendly URLs are short, readable, and stable.

Pickrack's slug generator handles Vietnamese diacritics (đ → d, ư → u, ê → e), accented Latin (é → e), and general Unicode normalization. The output is pure ASCII alphanumeric + hyphens, safe for any URL or filesystem.

Free, no signup, browser-side. Common use: paste a Vietnamese blog post title, get a clean English-letter URL slug ready for WordPress/Notion/Ghost CMS.

Key features

  • Vietnamese diacritic stripping — đ → d, ư → u, ê → e, ô → o, ạ ả ã á à → a. All 6-tone Vietnamese converts to plain Latin.
  • Accented Latin normalization — café → cafe, naïve → naive, München → munchen. Spanish ñ → n, German ß → ss.

Frequently asked questions

Does it handle Vietnamese diacritics correctly?

Yes — full coverage of all Vietnamese diacritics including đ/Đ. Tested with all 6 tones (sắc, huyền, hỏi, ngã, nặng, ngang) on every Vietnamese vowel. Common edge cases (ưo, ươ) handled correctly.

Why strip diacritics? URLs support Unicode now.

Modern URLs support percent-encoded Unicode (RFC 3986). But: (1) percent-encoded URLs are ugly when shared, (2) some legacy systems still struggle with them, (3) ASCII slugs are more cache-friendly and shorter to type. Most CMS still default to ASCII slugs.

What about Chinese / Japanese / Korean text?

v1 doesn't romanize CJK characters (would need pinyin/romaji conversion). For CJK, output preserves the characters as-is, percent-encoded if used in URL. For full romanization, use a dedicated tool.

Does it strip emoji?

Yes — emoji and other non-Latin pictographs are removed entirely. Only ASCII alphanumeric + hyphens remain.

What's the default separator?

Hyphen (-) — Google's recommendation for URL readability and SEO. Underscore (_) is legal but harder to read.

Why is my output cut off?

Default no truncation. Toggle 'Max length' to 60 chars (SEO recommendation) — slugs longer than that get truncated at the last word boundary.

Can I preserve case?

v1 always lowercases — consistent with URL best practice (uppercase URLs cause case-sensitivity bugs). For case-preservation, use Case Converter and combine manually.

Does this work for filenames on Windows/Mac/Linux?

Yes — output is ASCII alphanumeric + hyphens, safe for all filesystems. Reserved names (CON, PRN, AUX on Windows) are not specially handled — append a suffix if needed.
