What is a Slug Generator?

A URL slug is the human-readable part of a web address that comes after the domain, like the my-first-post in example.com/my-first-post. A slug generator turns a title or phrase into a clean, lowercase, hyphenated string with no spaces, accents, or special characters. Content publishers use it to create SEO-friendly URLs for blog posts and product pages, and developers use it to generate safe identifiers from user input.

How to use this Slug Generator

  1. 1

    Enter your title

    Paste the article headline, product name, or any phrase you want to turn into a URL slug.

  2. 2

    Choose a separator

    Pick a hyphen for SEO-friendly URLs, an underscore for filenames, or no separator for compact IDs.

  3. 3

    Set transliteration

    Convert accented characters like cafe to cafe, or non-Latin scripts to their closest ASCII equivalent.

  4. 4

    Adjust length if needed

    Trim very long slugs to a max character count so URLs stay short and shareable.

  5. 5

    Copy the slug

    Click copy and paste it into your CMS, code, or URL field.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a slug SEO-friendly?

Short, lowercase, hyphen-separated, and descriptive of the page content. Search engines and users both read slugs, so include the main keyword and skip filler words like the or and when possible.

Should I use hyphens or underscores in URLs?

Use hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators but treats underscores as joiners, so my-blog-post indexes as three words and my_blog_post indexes as one.

How does the tool handle accented characters?

It transliterates them to plain ASCII, so cafe becomes cafe, naive becomes naive, and Munchen becomes munchen. This keeps URLs portable across browsers and systems.

Can I generate slugs from non-English titles?

Yes. The transliterator maps common Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin-extended characters to ASCII. For scripts without a clean ASCII mapping, you may want to translate the title first.

What characters get removed from the slug?

Spaces, punctuation, emoji, and most symbols. Only letters, numbers, and the separator you chose remain.

Is there a recommended max slug length?

Aim for under 60 characters. Long slugs get truncated in search results and are harder to share, so trim filler words and keep only the key terms.
