Slug Generator
Generate URL slugs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a title: "How to Build a Website" becomes "how-to-build-a-website". It uses lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only. Good slugs improve SEO and make URLs readable and shareable.
How does the Slug Generator handle special characters?
Accented characters are transliterated: é→e, ü→u, ñ→n. Symbols and punctuation are removed. Spaces become hyphens. Multiple consecutive hyphens are collapsed to one. The result is a clean, URL-safe string.
What makes a good URL slug for SEO?
Keep slugs short (3-5 words), include target keywords, use hyphens (not underscores), avoid stop words (the, a, is) when possible, and make them descriptive. /best-running-shoes is better than /article-12345 or /the-best-running-shoes-for-beginners-in-2025.
Can I generate slugs in bulk?
Yes. Paste multiple titles (one per line) and the generator creates a slug for each. Results are shown in a table with the original title and generated slug side by side. Copy all slugs at once for batch processing.
Does the generator handle non-Latin characters?
Yes. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Cyrillic, and other scripts are transliterated to Latin equivalents using standard romanization rules. This ensures slugs work in all browsers and are typeable on any keyboard.
