URL Slug Generator
✓ Link copiedGenerate clean, SEO-friendly URL slugs from any title or heading — entirely in your browser. Type your text and the generator lowercases it, folds accented letters down to plain ASCII (so "Crème Brûlée" becomes "creme-brulee"), strips out punctuation and symbols, and joins the remaining words with a single separator. Choose a hyphen or underscore, optionally cap the length, and keep or drop lowercasing to match your URL scheme. A slug is the human-readable, search-friendly part of a URL — short, descriptive slugs are easier to read, share, and rank than query strings or IDs. Copy the result in one click. Free, fast, and completely private — nothing is uploaded or stored.
How to use
Type or paste your title in the input field. Pick the word separator (hyphen is the convention for URLs), and optionally set a maximum length to keep long slugs tidy — truncation never leaves a dangling separator or a half-word. Leave "Convert to lowercase" on for standard URLs, or turn it off to preserve the original casing. The slug updates live as you type. When it looks right, click Copy and paste it into your URL, permalink, or filename.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a URL slug?
- A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable way — for example, the "hello-world" in example.com/blog/hello-world. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens between words, avoid special characters, and describe the page's content. They make URLs easier to read and share, and search engines treat descriptive slugs as a small ranking and relevance signal.
- How are accented and non-English characters handled?
- Accented Latin letters are normalized with Unicode NFKD and stripped of their diacritical marks, so "é" becomes "e" and "ü" becomes "u". Punctuation and symbols are removed entirely. Letters from scripts that have no ASCII equivalent — such as Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic — are kept as-is, since modern browsers and search engines handle Unicode URLs fine.
- Is my input sent anywhere?
- No. The slug is generated entirely in your browser as you type. Your titles and text are never transmitted, logged, or stored on any server, and the tool works without an account.
