About kebab-case Converter

Our kebab-case Converter is a specialized tool designed for web developers, designers, and content creators who need to format text with hyphens between words. This format is widely used in URLs, CSS class names, HTML IDs, and file naming conventions for the web.

What is kebab-case?

kebab-case is a naming convention where:

  • All letters are lowercase
  • Words are separated by hyphens (dashes)
  • No spaces or other punctuation are used
  • Example: "convert to kebab case" becomes "convert-to-kebab-case"

When to Use kebab-case:

  • URL Slugs: Create SEO-friendly, readable URLs for blogs and websites.
  • CSS Class Names: Follow BEM or other CSS naming conventions.
  • HTML IDs: Create valid, consistent identifiers for elements.
  • File Names: Name web files consistently (e.g., hero-image.jpg, about-us.html).

How Our Converter Works:

  1. Converts all text to lowercase
  2. Removes special characters that aren’t suitable for URLs or file names
  3. Replaces spaces, underscores, and other separators with a single hyphen
  4. Removes duplicate hyphens and trims any leading or trailing hyphens

Whether you’re developing a website, naming files for a project, or creating URL slugs for your content, our kebab-case Converter helps you follow web standards and best practices with just a simple paste and click.
