Kebab Case Converter

Convert any phrase to kebab-case — plus snake_case and dot.case.

The Kebab Case Converter rewrites a phrase as kebab-case by splitting it on every run of characters outside ASCII A-Z, a-z and 0-9, lowercasing each surviving piece and joining them with single hyphens. The same word list is also shown as snake_case and dot.case, so one paste covers the three naming conventions most projects switch between. It is for developers naming CSS classes, URL slugs, branch names and config keys who want a consistent result instead of hand-hyphenating.

How to use Kebab Case Converter

1. 1

   Open Kebab Case Converter on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.

2. 2

   Type or paste your phrase into the 'Text' textarea under Inputs; it starts pre-filled with 'My Variable Name Here', and input with no letters or digits left in it shows an em dash with the caption 'Enter some text'

3. 3

   There is no format selector and no Convert button — the Result recomputes as you type and shows all three forms at once: kebab-case on the headline line ('my-variable-name-here' for the default phrase), plus cards labelled 'snake_case' and 'dot.case'

4. 4

   Every run of characters outside ASCII letters and digits collapses into a single separator and the words are lowercased; press Copy to take the Text and all three forms to the clipboard, Download to save them as kebab-case-converter.txt, or Reset to restore the default phrase

Why use Kebab Case Converter

• No double or trailing separators

  Runs of spaces, punctuation and symbols collapse to a single hyphen, and empty segments are dropped, so the output is always a clean slug.

• Three conventions from one input

  The same tokens are returned as kebab-case, snake_case and dot.case, so you can copy whichever the file you are editing expects.

• Safe for URLs and class names

  Because only ASCII letters and digits survive the split, the result never contains a character that would need percent-encoding in a path.

Common use cases

• You have a page title like "2026 Annual Report (Draft)" and need the URL slug for it without stray brackets, double hyphens or trailing punctuation.
• A design handoff lists component names in Title Case and your CSS convention is kebab-case, so you need them converted in one pass.
• You are creating a config key and the same name has to exist as kebab-case in YAML and snake_case in the Python that reads it.
