URL Slug Generator: Turn Titles into Clean URLs
Turn a title or any text into a clean, lowercase URL slug like "my-first-blog-post". Accents are converted (café becomes cafe), symbols are removed, and you can drop small words or set a maximum length.
Your slug appears here as you type.
What you type stays on your device.
How to use the URL Slug Generator
- Type or paste a title, or several titles one per line.
- Choose hyphens or underscores and any other options.
- Copy the slug.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a URL slug?
- The readable part of a web address that names a page, like "best-pasta-recipes" in example.com/blog/best-pasta-recipes.
- Hyphens or underscores?
- Use hyphens. Search engines treat a hyphen as a space between words, while an underscore can join words together.
- Should I remove words like "a" and "the"?
- It's optional. Dropping them makes slugs shorter and tidier; keep them if the slug reads oddly without them.
- How long should a slug be?
- Short and descriptive: three to five words is plenty. Set a maximum length and the slug is cut at a whole word.
- Is my text sent anywhere?
- No. Slugs are made on your device.
