What is Slug Generator?

UNDERSTAND THE TOOL

How to Generate URL-Friendly Slugs for Articles and Products

Convert post titles, product names, and text strings into clean, lowercase, ASCII-transliterated URL slugs optimized for SEO.

What is a URL slug and why it matters for SEO

A slug is the human-readable portion of a URL identifying a specific page (e.g., in 'example.com/blog/slug-generator', 'slug-generator' is the slug). Clean, descriptive slugs improve user readability and help search engines understand page context.

ASCII transliteration and accent stripping

The generator converts accented letters (e.g., 'ç', 'é', 'ñ', 'ß') into basic ASCII equivalents ('c', 'e', 'n', 'ss'). Symbols are expanded into words (e.g., '&' becomes 'and', '+' becomes 'plus') while punctuation marks are cleaned.

Separator selection and smart word clipping

Hyphens (-) are the recommended Google standard for web URLs. You can also select underscores (_) and enforce maximum character length limits that clip cleanly on whole words to avoid broken terms.

How to use

  • Type or paste a title into single mode, or paste multiple titles in batch mode.
  • Select your preferred separator (hyphen or underscore).
  • Toggle lowercase, ASCII conversion, and character length limits.
  • Copy the instant URL slug or export batch results.

100% browser-based privacy

Slug generation occurs locally in your web browser via JavaScript. Input text and title lists are never sent to external servers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it better to use hyphens (-) or underscores (_) in URL slugs?

Hyphens (-) are strongly recommended by Google for URL structures because search engines treat hyphens as word separators. Underscores (_) can cause search crawlers to join two words into a single term.

How are uppercase letters and accented characters handled?

By default, the tool converts all uppercase text to lowercase and transliterates accented characters to basic ASCII (e.g., 'Café & Bistro' becomes 'cafe-and-bistro').

How does smart length clipping work?

When setting a maximum length limit (e.g., 50 characters), the generator clips the string at the last complete word boundary before the limit, avoiding truncated words.

Can I generate slugs for multiple titles simultaneously?

Yes. In batch mode, paste a list of titles (one per line) to generate a complete table of corresponding URL slugs ready for copy.

Why should special characters be removed from URLs?

Special characters, spaces, and symbols like '?', '#', '%' get percent-encoded in URLs (e.g., '%20'), creating ugly, error-prone links. Clean slugs prevent link breakage.
