Where exactly does the length cap cut?

At the last separator that fits. A cap of 30 on “The Complete Guide to Sourdough Starters” gives you the-complete-guide-to. If the first word is already longer than the cap it is cut hard, because there is no boundary to fall back on, internationalization at a cap of 10 becomes internatio.

Does it keep capital letters?

Only with Case set to Preserve. The default lower-cases everything after the accents are folded.

How it works

Slug Generator for URL-Safe Titles

Paste a title and get a clean URL slug back, accents folded, punctuation dropped, repeats collapsed. Switch to batch mode to slugify a whole list, one per line.

What this does

Accents folded through NFD, café becomes cafe, Straße becomes strasse, Ørsted becomes orsted
&, @, £ and € spelled out as and, at, gbp and eur before everything non-ASCII is stripped
Hyphen or underscore, runs collapsed, edges trimmed, and an optional cap up to 500 characters
Batch mode turns every input line into its own slug and counts the duplicates it produced

FAQ

It disappears. Only ASCII letters and digits survive the strip, and a Cyrillic, Arabic or Han title has none of either, so the result is an empty slug and the tool says so rather than handing back a blank box. Latin accents are the exception: NFD decomposes é into e plus a combining mark, the mark is removed and the base letter is kept. For anything else, transliterate before pasting or write the slug by hand.
