Frequently asked questions
Does this guarantee a unique slug on my site?
No. It only transforms characters. You still need your CMS or router to check collisions and reserve words like admin or api before you publish.
How are accents handled?
Text is normalized to compatibility decomposition and combining marks are stripped so é becomes e before lowercasing. Rare scripts may need manual review.
Are uppercase letters kept?
No. URLs are shown in lowercase because that is the common convention for path segments and reduces duplicate-cache issues on case-sensitive hosts.
Is data uploaded?
No. The transformation runs locally. Copy is optional and uses your browser clipboard API.
