Slug to Text Converter
Turn a URL slug back into readable text with proper spacing and capitalisation.
Reversing a slug
A slug like how-to-make-a-slug is built for URLs, but sometimes you need it back as readable text — to generate a page title from a slug, label a link, or make sense of a URL. This converts a slug into a readable phrase, replacing the hyphens or underscores with spaces and capitalising sensibly.
Paste a slug and it becomes readable text.
A helpful guess, not a perfect reverse
It is worth being honest that turning a slug back into text is inherently a best guess, because slugging is lossy — it strips capitalisation, punctuation and any characters that were flattened, and that information cannot be perfectly recovered. So a slug becomes a clean, title-cased phrase, but the original might have had a comma, an acronym in caps, or a subtitle that is gone. For generating a reasonable heading or label from a slug it is exactly right; just expect to tidy the occasional word by hand.
