URL Slug Generator
Turn any title into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug — transliterated, lowercased, and safely separated.
About This Tool & Technical Logic
A slug is the human-readable tail of a URL. Good slugs are lowercase, contain only letters, digits, and one separator, and keep the 3–6 words that actually identify the page — which is why they matter for both click-through and accessibility.
The generator transliterates accented and non-Latin characters (é→e, ü→u…), strips punctuation and symbols, collapses whitespace, and joins words with your chosen separator. Stop-word removal optionally drops filler like "a" and "the" for shorter slugs.
normalize("NFD").strip-diacritics → lowercase → remove non-alphanumerics → collapse → join(separator).
How to Use — Step by Step
- 1
Paste your headline or product name
Any language that transliterates to Latin works; remaining non-Latin glyphs are dropped rather than mangled.
- 2
Choose hyphen or underscore
Google treats hyphens as word separators — hyphen is the right default for web slugs.
- 3
Copy into your CMS
Aim for 3–6 words. "10-best-coffee-grinders" beats a full headline slug every time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mildly but really: a descriptive slug is a small ranking signal and a large click-through signal in search results and shared links. Keep it short and relevant.
