Workflow & Usage
-
Paste your text Add a title, phrase, or a list (one per line).
-
Get kebab-case output instantly The output updates live:
Hello world→hello-worldPricing plan v2→pricing-plan-v2
- Copy and use it Click Copy and paste into URLs, CMS fields, docs, or internal labels.
If you need extra URL cleanup (punctuation trimming, repeat collapsing, more slug rules), use the full Text Transformer tool.
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 images→how-to-resize-images -
File names and assets
hero image summer sale→hero-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.
Examples

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.
