Separator and case rules

Separators and case affect a slug's readability and compatibility.

Which separator

Hyphens (-) are the standard for web URLs. Underscores (_) suit code and file names, and dots (.) fit versions and extensions. Pick the one that matches your purpose.

Prefer lowercase

URL paths can be case-sensitive depending on the server, so standardizing on lowercase avoids confusion. This tool lowercases by default.
