What kebab-case Is Good For

kebab-case is popular because it stays readable even inside long strings:

  • URLs and page paths how to resize imageshow-to-resize-images

  • File names and assets hero image summer salehero-image-summer-sale

  • Readable IDs in docs and systems Great for tags, anchors, and internal labels that people will actually read.

  • Consistency across teams When multiple people touch naming (content, dev, ops), kebab-case reduces arguments.

Note: Some systems prefer underscores or camelCase for code. For internal identifiers in Python or databases, snake_case can be a better fit.

Use Cases

  • SEO + content Create consistent, human-readable URLs for blog posts, landing pages, and categories.

  • CMS workflows Turn headings into URL paths quickly without manually typing hyphens.

  • Asset management Standardize filenames before uploading to your site or a CDN.

  • Documentation Make stable anchors or identifiers that won’t break when copied around.


Tips for Best Results

  • Keep it short For URLs, fewer words usually wins. If your input is a full sentence, consider trimming it before converting.

  • Prefer slugs for “real” URL safety If you’re dealing with tricky punctuation, repeated separators, or you need consistent cleanup rules, use Slug in the full Text Transformer.

  • Avoid keyword stuffing Kebab-case makes text readable, but repeating the same word five times won’t help SEO.


How It Works

  • Word splitting Your text is split into words using spaces and common separators (underscore, dash, dots, punctuation).

  • Normalization Words are lowercased (where case exists), then joined with hyphens.

  • Local-only Everything happens in your browser — no uploads, no tracking, no storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

kebab-case joins words with hyphens and usually uses lowercase letters (e.g., 'hello world' → 'hello-world'). It’s commonly used for URLs and readable identifiers.

kebab-case is a naming style (words separated by hyphens). A slug usually goes further: it removes punctuation, collapses repeats, trims edges, and often handles accents/transliteration for URL-safety.

It treats spaces and separators as word breaks, then joins words with hyphens. Most punctuation gets dropped or treated as a separator, while numbers are kept.
