URL Slug Generator

What is a URL slug?

The slug is the human-readable, words-and-hyphens part of a URL that identifies a specific page — the how-to-make-cold-brew in example.com/blog/how-to-make-cold-brew. It usually comes from the page's title, cleaned up: lowercased, accents flattened, punctuation removed, spaces turned into hyphens.

Why slugs matter (a bit) for SEO and a lot for humans

• Readability. /blog/how-to-make-cold-brew tells a person what they'll get; /blog/?p=8472 doesn't. Readable URLs get clicked and shared more.
• Keywords in context. Search engines do look at the URL. Having the topic words in the slug is a small, free signal — don't stuff it, just keep it relevant.
• Stable links. Keep slugs short and timeless. /best-laptops ages better than /best-laptops-of-march-2026-updated-v2. If you must change a slug later, set up a redirect.
• No surprises. Spaces become %20, accented letters become %C3%A9-style gibberish, uppercase can cause duplicate-URL issues on some servers. A clean slug avoids all of it.

Good slug habits

• Lowercase, hyphen-separated. (Underscores work, but hyphens are the web convention and slightly preferred by search engines as word separators.)
• Drop filler words if it helps — the, a, of, to rarely add meaning. (Toggle above.)
• Keep it reasonably short — a handful of words. Long slugs get truncated in search results anyway.
• Transliterate, don't drop, accented characters: café → cafe, not caf.
• Don't change a published slug on a whim — every existing link and share breaks unless you redirect.

Does it support non-Latin scripts (Cyrillic, Greek, CJK)?

Only partially. Latin letters with diacritics (most European languages) are transliterated reliably. Other scripts mostly get stripped, because there's no single "correct" romanisation — for those, write the slug by hand or transliterate first.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The slugifying runs in your browser; nothing you paste is sent anywhere.
