A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human-readable way — the words after the domain and any folders. For example, in example.com/blog/url-slug-guide, the slug is url-slug-guide. A good slug is short, descriptive and uses hyphens between words. This tool converts any title into a clean slug automatically. It is part of the Link & URL Tools group.
| Benefit | Why It Helps |

Aim for a few meaningful words; drop filler where you can.
Separate words with hyphens, which search engines read as spaces.
Lowercase avoids duplicate-URL issues on case-sensitive servers.
Include the main keyword so the topic is obvious.
Google recommends hyphens to separate words in URLs, because it treats a hyphen as a word separator while an underscore joins words together. For SEO, hyphens are the safer default. Underscores are offered here for cases where a system or convention requires them.
Removing small words like the, a and of can make a slug shorter and more focused, which many sites prefer. However, keep them when they are needed for meaning or readability. The option is off by default so you stay in control of how the slug reads.
If you change the slug of a page that is already live, set up a redirect from the old URL to the new one so links and rankings are preserved. Changing slugs without redirects can create broken links and lose accumulated SEO value, so plan changes carefully.
No. The slug is generated locally in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you type is uploaded, logged or stored, so the tool is safe for unpublished titles and confidential client work.
Turn article headlines into clean permalinks.
Create tidy slugs for product and category URLs.
Make campaign and landing URLs readable.
Generate slugs for routes, anchors and file names.

Google recommends hyphens, because it treats a hyphen as a word separator while an underscore joins words. For SEO, hyphens are the safer default. The tool offers underscores too for systems or conventions that require them.
Yes. It transliterates accented Latin characters to plain ASCII, so café becomes cafe and München becomes munchen. This keeps slugs compatible with all systems. For non-Latin scripts, the readable Latin equivalent is usually best for URLs.
Stop words are small, common words such as the, a, and and of. Removing them makes slugs shorter and more focused, which many sites prefer. Keep them when they aid meaning or readability. The option is off by default so you decide.
Yes. Numbers are kept by default, which is useful for years, versions and list posts such as top-10-tips. You can switch numbers off if you prefer a purely alphabetic slug, and the output updates immediately.
Set up a redirect from the old URL to the new one so existing links and rankings are preserved. Changing a slug without a redirect can create broken links and lose SEO value, so always plan slug changes for published pages carefully.
