Create clean, SEO-friendly URL slugs
The URL Slug Generator turns a page title or any phrase into a tidy slug suitable for a web address. It lowercases the text, replaces spaces with hyphens, strips punctuation and symbols, and removes accents by converting letters like e-acute to plain e. The result is a readable, search-friendly URL segment such as "ten-tips-for-better-sleep".
Options let you choose a hyphen or underscore separator, keep or skip lowercasing, drop common stop words such as "the" and "of" for a shorter slug, and cap the length so long titles do not produce unwieldy URLs. When trimming to the length limit, the tool cuts at a word boundary so the slug never ends mid-word.
Why slugs matter for SEO
Clean slugs help both readers and search engines understand what a page is about. Descriptive, keyword-rich slugs can improve click-through from search results and are easier to share and remember than URLs full of query strings or IDs. Consistent separators and lowercase letters also avoid duplicate-URL issues.
Hyphens are the recommended word separator for URLs because search engines treat them as spaces, whereas underscores join words together. All conversion happens locally in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens are recommended. Search engines treat a hyphen as a word separator, while an underscore joins words, which can hurt how keywords are read.
How are accented characters handled?
Accents are removed by converting letters to their plain form, so "cafe" style words produce clean ASCII slugs that work reliably in URLs.
What do stop words do to the slug?
Removing stop words drops short, common words like "the" and "of", producing a shorter, more keyword-focused slug. This is optional.
Will long titles be cut off mid-word?
No. When a slug exceeds the length limit, it is trimmed back to the previous word boundary so it never ends in a partial word.
Is the slug lowercase?
By default yes, because lowercase URLs avoid case-sensitivity problems. You can turn lowercasing off if you need to preserve capitalisation.
