Slug Generator
Paste a title or phrase and get a clean, URL-safe slug: lowercase, hyphenated, with accents and punctuation removed.
What the generator does to your text
It lowercases the input, strips accents back to their base letters so that renovation survives with or without the accent, removes punctuation and symbols, collapses runs of whitespace into single hyphens, and trims any hyphen left at either end. The result is a slug that survives being pasted into any system without percent encoding.
What makes a good slug
| Rule | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Lowercase only | Some servers treat uppercase and lowercase paths as different URLs, which splits one page into two |
| Hyphens rather than underscores | Google treats a hyphen as a word separator and an underscore as a joiner |
| Three to five words | Long enough to describe the page, short enough to survive truncation in a result |
| No dates you will regret | A slug carrying 2026 ages badly, and rewriting it costs you a redirect |
| Stable once published | Changing a slug means a redirect, and every redirect is a small tax on crawling |
When this is worth running
Every time you publish, if your CMS does not already do it well. Auto-generated slugs are often the entire headline including stop words and a date, which produces long URLs that get truncated in search results and read badly when shared. It is also useful during a migration, when a few hundred pages need a consistent URL scheme and doing it by hand invites typos.
What it cannot decide for you
The tool cleans up wording you give it. It does not choose the wording. A technically perfect slug built from a badly chosen phrase is still a badly chosen URL. Decide what the page is about, write the shortest phrase that says it, then clean that. And never change a slug on a published page without redirecting the old one.
Questions people ask about URL slugs
Should I remove stop words like the and for?
- Usually yes, because they lengthen the URL without making it clearer. Keep one where removing it changes the meaning or leaves the slug reading like nonsense.
Do keywords in the URL help rankings?
- Slightly, and much less than people assume. Google has described the words in a URL as a very small factor. The practical benefit is that a readable URL is easier to trust and easier to share.
What happens if I change a slug after publishing?
- The old URL starts returning a 404 unless you redirect it. Put a permanent 301 redirect from old to new, and update your internal links rather than leaving them to bounce through the redirect.
