What Is the URL Slug Generator?
The URL Slug Generator converts any title, headline, or phrase into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug. It lowercases text, replaces spaces and special characters with hyphens, strips accents, and removes stop words — producing the kind of short, readable permalinks that search engines and users both love.
Produces clean hyphen-separated slugs that rank well and look great in search results.
Automatically transliterates accented characters (é→e, ñ→n) for ASCII-safe URLs.
See the slug update live as you type — perfect for blog posts, product pages, and documentation.
Copy the generated slug to your clipboard instantly — no selection needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
A URL slug is the human-readable part of a web address that identifies a specific page. For example, in example.com/blog/how-to-bake-bread, the slug is how-to-bake-bread. Good slugs are short, lowercase, hyphen-separated and descriptive.
Search engines read slugs to understand page content. A slug containing your target keyword signals relevance and can improve click-through rates from search results. Google recommends short, descriptive URLs with words separated by hyphens.
Always use hyphens. Google's John Mueller confirmed that hyphens are treated as word separators in URLs, so blue-widget is understood as two words. Underscores join words (blue_widget = one word), which hurts keyword matching and readability.
Generally no. Stop words like "a", "the", "and", "of" add length without SEO value. Removing them keeps slugs shorter and keyword-dense. However, if removing them changes the meaning of the slug, keep the necessary ones.
Aim for 3–5 meaningful words (roughly 50 characters or fewer). Short slugs are easier to share, less likely to be truncated in search results, and quicker to type. Avoid keyword stuffing — one clear keyword phrase is enough.
Yes, but always set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one. Without a redirect, existing backlinks and search rankings are lost. Most CMSs (WordPress, Shopify) handle this automatically when you update the slug field.
