URL Slug Generator — Clean, SEO-Friendly Slugs
About the Slug Generator
A slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page — for example /blog/how-to-brew-coffee. Good slugs are lowercase, hyphen-separated, free of accents and special characters, and short enough to read at a glance.
Paste any title or headline and this tool produces a publication-ready slug instantly. It transliterates accented characters (é → e), drops punctuation, collapses repeated separators and trims trailing hyphens — following the same conventions used by WordPress, Ghost and most static site generators.
How to use the Slug Generator
- Type or paste your title into the input field.
- The clean slug appears instantly below it.
- Choose hyphens or underscores as the separator if your project requires it, then copy.
Frequently asked questions
Do slugs affect SEO?
Yes, mildly. A short, descriptive slug with the target keyword helps users and search engines understand what a page is about, and improves how the URL looks in search results.
How long should a slug be?
Aim for 3–6 words. Keep the meaningful keywords and drop stop-words like “the” or “of” where possible.
What happens to non-English characters?
Accented Latin letters are transliterated (ü becomes u, ç becomes c). Characters with no Latin equivalent are removed, so “北京 旅游” becomes a clean slug of only its Latin-safe parts.
