Slug Generator
Convert article titles, product names, and headlines into clean, SEO-friendly URL slugs.
What is Slug Generator?
A URL slug is the readable part of a web address that identifies a page, such as /blog/seo-slug-generator. Paste a title to create a short slug with lowercase text, clear word separators, and punctuation removed. Good slugs help people understand a link before they open it and give search engines a stable page label. Keep the main topic, remove filler words when the meaning stays clear, and avoid changing a published slug unless you can redirect the old URL. The generator normalizes accents, collapses repeated separators, and lets you remove stop words, numbers, or extra length.
Create a readable permalink before publishing, and keep the final URL stable after the page is indexed.
Five tips for readable URL slugs
In example.com/blog/coffee-guide, coffee-guide is the slug. It identifies a page rather than the whole website. A descriptive slug helps readers recognize the destination and gives search engines context. It does not guarantee rankings or replace useful content. Paste a headline above, adjust the options, and review the output before copying it into your publishing system.
- Keep the main subject: turn How to Choose a Coffee Grinder into choose-coffee-grinder rather than a vague post-123. Make the destination clear without repeating the same keyword.
- Prefer hyphens between words: coffee-grinder-guide is easier to scan than coffee_grinder_guide. Dot and underscore options remain available for other naming needs.
- Use consistent lowercase: summer-travel-checklist avoids differences between uppercase and lowercase links on case-sensitive servers. Keep the same convention across your site.
- Remove filler only when the meaning survives: a-guide-to-home-painting can become home-painting-guide. Keep words that distinguish the topic from other pages.
- Keep published links stable: choose meal-plan-basics for evergreen advice, and include 2026 only for year-specific information. Redirect the old address and update links if you change a published slug.

How It Works
Complies with RFC 3986 URI generic syntax standards. Decomposes accented glyphs into ASCII equivalents (e.g., "é" becomes "e"), eliminates illegal URI punctuation, and collapses consecutive separators.
