Slug Generator
Turn any title into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug — with hyphen or underscore separators, accent removal, and stopword filtering — instantly, entirely inside your browser.
What is a slug generator?
A slug is the short, URL-friendly version of a title that appears at the end of a web address — lowercase, with spaces and punctuation replaced by hyphens or underscores, and accented characters converted to their plain equivalents. A slug generator automates that conversion, turning a blog post title, product name, or page heading into a clean URL segment without manually retyping and cleaning it up.
It's built for anyone publishing content with URLs: bloggers and marketers naming posts, developers generating routes or file names from titles, and anyone who needs a quick, clean slug from a title without doing the cleanup by hand.
GuideHow to use it
How a slug is built
The text is lowercased, accented characters are converted to their plain ASCII equivalents (so "café" becomes "cafe"), and anything that isn't a letter or number is treated as a word break. Those breaks are collapsed into a single separator — a hyphen or underscore — with no leading, trailing, or repeated separators in the result. Optionally, common stopwords like "a," "the," and "of" can be filtered out, and digits can be stripped entirely, producing a shorter, more keyword-focused slug.
Why it helpsFeatures & benefits
Why this runs entirely in your browser
Titles pasted here can include unpublished content or internal naming, so nothing is uploaded. Every conversion runs in JavaScript locally in the tab, which means it keeps working offline once the page has loaded and nothing typed or pasted into it persists after the tab is closed.
Getting a clean, SEO-friendly slug
Shorter slugs generally perform better for SEO and readability — removing stopwords and numbers when they don't add meaning keeps the slug focused on the actual keywords. It's also worth keeping separators consistent across a site; mixing hyphens and underscores across different pages makes URLs harder to read and can create duplicate-feeling paths in search results.
Frequently asked questions
