Quick answer

A URL slug is the readable part of a web address that names a page, like creme-brulee-recipe in example.com/creme-brulee-recipe. To make one, type your title and this generator lowercases it, replaces spaces with hyphens, transliterates accented letters to plain ASCII (so Crème Brûlée becomes creme-brulee), and strips emoji and punctuation. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, and you can paste a whole list to slugify every line at once.

SEO URL Tips

Hyphens Win for SEO

Google officially recommends hyphens over underscores in URLs, because hyphens are treated as spaces between words while underscores are not.

Keep It Short

Aim for a few keyword-rich words. Shorter slugs are easier to read, share, and remember, and the Max length option helps you enforce a cap.

Do Not Change Live URLs

Once a slug is published and indexed, avoid editing it. If you must, add a 301 redirect from the old URL so links and rankings carry over.

Frequently Asked Questions

Type your title and the generator turns it into a slug automatically. It lowercases the text, replaces spaces with hyphens, transliterates accented letters to plain ASCII, and removes emoji and punctuation. So My New Blog Post! becomes my-new-blog-post, ready to paste into your address after the last slash.
It transliterates them to the closest ASCII letters using Unicode NFKD normalization plus diacritic stripping, with a map for letters that do not decompose. Crème Brûlée becomes creme-brulee, Über becomes uber, and the German Straße becomes strasse. Emoji and symbols with no letter form are simply dropped.
Use hyphens. Google treats a hyphen as a word separator but reads an underscore as a word joiner, so my-blog-post is seen as three words while my_blog_post can be read as one. Hyphen is the default here, with underscore available when a system requires it.
Yes. Switch to batch mode, paste one title per line, and you get one clean slug per line with a live count. It is built for turning a list of post titles, product names, or page headings into slugs in a single step, then copying them all at once.
Stop words are short filler words like a, an, the, of, and. Removing them shortens the slug and focuses it on keywords, so The Art of War becomes art-war. This tool keeps them by default and removes them only when you turn the option on, since sometimes they matter to the meaning.
No. All slug generation runs locally in your browser, so your titles never leave your device and the tool keeps working offline. You can slugify unpublished or sensitive titles without them being uploaded or stored anywhere.
