Make clean, SEO-friendly slugs

A good slug is short, lowercase, hyphenated, and free of anything that has to be percent-encoded. Building one by hand from a real headline means stripping punctuation, flattening accented characters, and deciding what to do with the ampersand — every time. Paste the title and get a slug that is safe in a URL, readable by a person, and consistent across your whole site.

How to create a URL slug

  1. 1

    Paste a title

    Drop in a headline, product name, or any phrase.

  2. 2

    Get the slug

    Text is lowercased, accents are flattened, punctuation is dropped, and words are joined with single hyphens.

  3. 3

    Copy it into your URL

    One click copies the finished slug.

Good to know

  • Accented characters are transliterated rather than deleted, so "Café Münster" becomes "cafe-munster" instead of losing letters.
  • Repeated separators are collapsed and leading or trailing hyphens are trimmed, so the slug never ends up with a dangling dash.
  • Hyphens are the right separator for URLs; underscores are treated as part of a word by some search engines.
  • Shorter slugs that keep the meaningful words tend to read better in search results and when shared as links.

What people use it for

  • Creating a clean permalink from a blog post headline
  • Generating consistent URL paths for product or category pages
  • Turning a file or page title into a safe identifier

Frequently asked questions

What does it do with accents and symbols?+

Accented letters are normalized to their base form, and anything that isn't a letter or number becomes your chosen separator. The result is lowercase and URL-safe.

Can I convert many titles at once?+

Yes: put one title per line and you'll get one slug per line.
