URL Slug Generator

Turn any title into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug — lowercase, hyphenated and free of special characters.

🔒 Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored on a server.

The Slug Generator converts a title or phrase into a clean URL slug — the readable part of a web address that comes after the domain. It lowercases the text, replaces spaces with hyphens, strips out punctuation and special characters, and removes accents, leaving a tidy string that's safe to use in a URL. The slug updates instantly as you type and is ready to copy.

Good slugs matter for SEO and usability. Search engines and readers both prefer descriptive, human-readable URLs like /best-coffee-beans over cryptic ones like /p?id=8842. A clean slug includes your keywords, avoids messy characters that can break links, and stays consistent across your site. Bloggers, developers and content managers reach for a slug generator constantly.

You can choose hyphens or underscores as the word separator and decide whether to force lowercase. Accented letters like “é” are converted to their plain equivalents, and anything that isn't a letter, number or separator is removed — so the result is always URL-safe. It all runs in your browser with nothing uploaded.

How to use

  1. Type or paste your title or phrase.
  2. Choose your separator: hyphen (recommended for SEO) or underscore.
  3. Decide whether to force lowercase (recommended).
  4. The clean slug appears instantly below.
  5. Click Copy slug and paste it into your CMS or code.

Examples

Blog title
“10 Best Tips for Faster Websites!” becomes “10-best-tips-for-faster-websites”.
Accents removed
“Crème Brûlée Recipe” becomes “creme-brulee-recipe”, safe for any URL.
Underscore style
Switching the separator turns “User Profile Page” into “user_profile_page” for code-style identifiers.
Extra symbols
“C++ & Python: A Guide” becomes “c-python-a-guide”, stripping the problematic symbols.

Frequently asked questions

What is a URL slug?
It's the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in readable words, such as “url-slug-generator” in this page's address. Slugs make URLs descriptive for both people and search engines.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens are recommended for the web, because search engines treat hyphens as word separators while underscores can join words together. Use underscores mainly for code-style identifiers.
Why are accents and symbols removed?
URLs are safest with plain ASCII letters, numbers and hyphens. We convert accented letters to their base form and strip symbols so links never break or get awkwardly encoded.
Does it keep numbers?
Yes. Numbers are valid in URLs and are preserved, so “top-10-tools” keeps its “10”.
Is shorter better for slugs?
Generally yes — concise slugs with your main keywords are easier to read and share. You can trim the generated slug before copying if it's long.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The slug is generated entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
