Common mistakes to avoid

  • Overly long slugs — keep them short and meaningful.
  • Leaving in non-ASCII characters that some systems mishandle.
  • Changing a slug after publishing without adding a redirect, which breaks existing links.
  • Using underscores where hyphens are the web convention for word separation.

Keywords: slug, url, seo, permalink.

I built a free image converter that works instantly in the browser — no signup, no ads in your face
Body
Hey r/[subreddit],

I kept needing a quick image converter and most options online were slow or behind paywalls, so I built one that:

• Runs 100% in your browser (your data never leaves your device)
• No signup, no email wall, no popups
• Loads in under a second on mobile

It covers the standard image use cases (image, convert, png, jpeg) and links out to the formula + worked examples if you want to learn the math.
