What Is a URL Slug?
A URL slug is the readable part of a web address that identifies a specific page. For example, in https://example.com/website-performance-guide, the slug is website-performance-guide.
Slugs are commonly generated from page titles. A slug generator removes or replaces unnecessary punctuation, spaces, and special characters to create a consistent URL path.
Why Use an SEO-Friendly Slug?
A clear URL helps visitors understand what a page is about before opening it. Descriptive URLs are easier to read, share, and maintain.
- Use words that accurately describe the page.
- Separate words with hyphens for readability.
- Remove unnecessary punctuation and symbols.
- Avoid unnecessarily long or repetitive slugs.
- Keep published URLs stable whenever possible.
Hyphens or Underscores?
Hyphens are generally the preferred separator for public website URLs. For example, website-design-guide is easier to read as separate words than website_design_guide.
How Does This Slug Generator Work?
The tool processes your text in your browser. It normalizes characters, handles punctuation, converts spaces into your selected separator, and optionally removes stop words and repeated words.
When accent removal is enabled, Unicode normalization helps convert many accented characters into their basic equivalents. Some characters and writing systems require language-specific transliteration and may not have a direct ASCII equivalent.
Should You Remove Stop Words?
Stop words are common words such as "the", "and", "of", and "to". Removing them can shorten a slug, but it is not always necessary. Keep words when they are important for the meaning or readability of the URL.
Does This Tool Change My Website URLs?
No. This generator only creates text that you can use as a URL slug. It does not publish pages, change your website, create redirects, or check whether a slug already exists on your domain.
If you change the URL of an already published page, configure an appropriate permanent redirect from the old address and update your internal links and canonical URL.
Frequently Asked Questions

2. Can I generate multiple slugs at once?
Yes. Enter one title per line in the bulk generator to create multiple results.
3. Does the generator support accented characters?
Yes. Enable accent removal to normalize many accented Latin characters. Results can vary for characters that do not decompose into basic Latin letters.
4. Can I use underscores instead of hyphens?
Yes. Select underscore in the separator settings. Hyphens are generally recommended for readable public URLs.

6. Is my text uploaded to a server?
No. Slug generation takes place in your browser. Your entered text is not submitted to this PHP page or an external API.
7. Can I use the generated slug for any website?
You can use it as a starting point for most website platforms and content management systems. Always check your website's routing rules and existing URLs before publishing.
