How the slug generator works
The slug is generated by lowercasing the text, removing punctuation and special characters, and replacing spaces with hyphens — the standard format search engines and most CMS platforms expect for clean, readable URLs.
Step-by-step guide
- Type or paste your title.
- Read the generated slug instantly as you type.
- Copy it into your URL, CMS permalink field, or file name.
What makes a good slug
- Short and descriptive — readable at a glance
- Includes your target keyword where natural
- Avoids special characters, accents, and unnecessary words
Frequently asked questions
Search engines generally treat hyphens as word separators but often read underscores as connecting words together — hyphens are the widely recommended convention for SEO-friendly URLs.
It's common practice to keep slugs concise by removing minor stop words, though this tool keeps all words by default for accuracy — feel free to manually trim the result if you want a shorter slug.
Numbers are preserved as-is, since they're often meaningful for the page (like a year or a list count).
