How to use Slug Generator
- Paste a title or phrase.
- Choose a separator (hyphen is recommended).
- Copy the slug into your CMS or URL.
About this tool
A good slug is lowercase, uses hyphens between words and contains no accents, spaces or special characters. This makes URLs easy to read, share and index. Accents are transliterated (for example "café" becomes "cafe") and "&" becomes "and".
Keep slugs short and descriptive, and avoid changing them after a page is published without setting up a redirect.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Hyphen or underscore?
- Hyphens are the usual recommendation because search engines treat them as word separators.
- What happens to non-Latin letters?
- Letters outside A to Z are removed after accent stripping, so for other scripts write the slug manually.
- Should I include stop words?
- Removing words like "the" and "of" makes slugs shorter, but only if the meaning stays clear.
