Slug Generator

What is Slug Generator?

A slug is the URL-friendly part of a web address — the part after the domain that identifies a page. For example, "how-to-build-a-resume-in-2025" is a slug derived from the title "How to Build a Résumé in 2025?" Slugs use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (or underscores) and avoid spaces, special characters, and accented letters. Good slugs improve SEO and make URLs readable and shareable.

The Slug Generator trims whitespace, transliterates accented characters (é → e, ñ → n) to ASCII, replaces spaces and special characters with your chosen separator, and collapses repeated separators. Enable stop-word removal to strip words like "a," "the," and "of" for shorter URLs. Use batch mode to convert multiple titles at once — one per line — and uniqueness suffixing to append -1, -2, etc. when slugs would otherwise duplicate.

Real-world use cases include creating URLs for blog posts, product pages, or documentation; generating filenames for exported content; and preparing slugs for CMS or static site generators. The tool runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded or stored.

How to Use Slug Generator

1. Type or paste your title or text into the input field.
2. Choose a separator: Hyphen (-), Underscore (_), or Dot (.). Hyphens are preferred for SEO.
3. Click Generate Slug (or press Ctrl+Enter). The slug appears in the result area.
4. Open Advanced to enable stop-word removal, batch mode (one title per line), uniqueness suffixes, or max-length truncation.
5. Click Copy to copy the slug to your clipboard.

Tips & Best Practices

For SEO, prefer hyphens over underscores — search engines treat hyphens as word separators. Use stop-word removal for long titles to keep slugs concise, but keep them if the word matters (e.g., "The Beatles" might warrant keeping "the" in some contexts). Set Max length to 60–70 characters if your CMS or platform has URL length limits.

In batch mode, enter one title per line; each line produces one slug. Uniqueness suffixing is useful when importing multiple posts with similar titles — "My Post" and "My Post" become "my-post" and "my-post-2." For titles with mixed case, the tool lowercases by default; uncheck Lowercase in Advanced if you need to preserve case (rare for URLs). Pair with the Case Converter if you need to normalize titles before slugging.

When to Use This Tool

Use the Slug Generator when creating URLs for blog posts, product pages, or documentation; generating SEO-friendly filenames; preparing slugs for WordPress, Ghost, or static site generators; or bulk-converting titles for migration. For formatting titles before slugging, use the Case Converter. For previewing how your meta title and URL appear in search results, try the SERP Snippet Preview.
