Frequently Asked Questions
What does slugify do?
It converts text to a URL-safe slug by lowercasing, removing special characters, and replacing spaces with hyphens.
Are accented characters handled?
Yes. Diacritics are removed using NFD normalization before slugifying.
Is text processing private?
Yes. All transformations run in your browser only.
