Free Text to Slug Generator

A URL slug is the readable part of a web address that identifies a page, like best-dnd-dice-sets-2026. This generator turns any title into a clean slug: it lowercases the text, removes accents and special characters, and joins words with hyphens. Type and the slug updates live.

How to Create a URL Slug

  1. Type or paste your page title into the box.
  2. Choose a hyphen or underscore separator (hyphens are recommended for SEO).
  3. Optionally strip common stop words like "the" and "of" for a shorter slug.
  4. Click Copy Slug to use it in your CMS or URL.

What Makes a Good Slug?

  • Use lowercase letters only to avoid duplicate-URL issues.
  • Separate words with hyphens, which search engines treat as spaces.
  • Keep it short and descriptive; include your main keyword.
  • Remove accents, punctuation, and spaces, which can break or encode awkwardly in URLs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL slug?

A slug is the human-readable identifier at the end of a URL, such as the part 'text-to-slug' in this page's address. Clean slugs are easier to read and better for SEO.

Why use hyphens instead of underscores?

Search engines treat hyphens as word separators but historically treated underscores as joiners. Hyphens are the recommended choice for SEO-friendly URLs.

Does it handle accents and special characters?

Yes. Accented letters like e-acute are converted to their plain ASCII equivalents, and punctuation, emoji, and symbols are removed automatically.

What are stop words and should I strip them?

Stop words are common short words like the, a, of, and in. Removing them can shorten a slug, but keep them if they are important to meaning or matching a search query.

Is the slug generator free and private?

Yes. It runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up, and your text is never uploaded anywhere.
