A good URL slug is short, readable and free of characters that break links. This slug generator converts any heading, product name or article title into a clean slug automatically: it lowercases the text, strips accents from letters, replaces spaces and punctuation with your chosen separator, and tidies the result. A live preview shows the full URL with your domain so you can judge it in context before copying.
How Slugs Are Built
The tool normalises accented characters — é becomes e, ñ becomes n — using Unicode decomposition, then removes anything that is not a letter, number or separator. You can pick hyphens (the usual choice for public web pages) or underscores. An optional stop-word filter drops small words like and, the, of and in, making long titles compact without losing meaning. A maximum length setting trims the slug neatly at a word boundary instead of chopping mid-word, which keeps URLs professional.
How to Generate a Slug
- Type or paste the title or phrase.
- Enter your domain in the preview field to see the complete URL.
- Choose the separator: hyphen or underscore.
- Optionally enable stop-word removal and set a maximum length.
- Copy the slug, or the full URL, with one click.
Who Uses It
Bloggers and shop owners create consistent product and post URLs. Developers generate route names and file names from user content. Marketers shorten campaign links. Because the generator follows the same rules every time, a whole site keeps one predictable URL style instead of a mix of hand-typed variations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are hyphens or underscores better for SEO?
Hyphens are the widely recommended word separator for public URLs because search engines treat them as spaces. Underscores suit file names and code identifiers.
What happens to numbers and symbols?
Numbers are kept. Symbols such as %, + and / are removed or converted to separators so the slug stays safe in every browser and server.
Can it handle non-English titles?
Accented Latin text converts cleanly. Scripts without a Latin form, such as Arabic or Chinese, are removed rather than transliterated, so check the preview for those titles.
