URL Slug Generator
Convert any title into a clean URL slug. Paste a whole list of headings and get a slug for each one at the same time.
Accented and non-Latin letters are transliterated where possible, so Café becomes cafe. Hyphens are the safest separator for URLs: search engines treat them as word boundaries, while underscores are read as part of the word.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good URL slug?
Short, lowercase, hyphen-separated, and made of the words that actually describe the page. Aim for three to five meaningful words and drop filler like 'the' and 'a' where it reads fine without them.
Hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens. Search engines treat a hyphen as a word separator but read an underscore as part of the word, so top_10_tips is seen as one long token while top-10-tips is seen as three words.
How are accents and non-English characters handled?
Accented Latin letters are transliterated to their base form, so Café becomes cafe. Characters from scripts with no Latin equivalent are removed, since only ASCII is reliably safe in a URL path.
Should I change a slug after publishing?
Avoid it if you can. Changing a slug breaks every existing link and any accumulated ranking. If you must, set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one.
