URL Slug Generator
Turn any title into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug.
About this tool
A clean slug — lowercase, no accents, hyphens between words — makes a URL readable, shareable and easier for search engines to interpret. This tool converts any headline into a compliant slug: “Save 20% on Summer Deals!” becomes save-20-on-summer-deals, with punctuation, symbols and accented characters all handled sensibly.
Conversion happens as you type, entirely in your browser, and the result copies to the clipboard in one click. Free, instant, no account.
Frequently asked questions
Why strip accents and special characters from URLs?
Accented characters are percent-encoded in shared links — “café” becomes “caf%C3%A9” — which is unreadable and easy to break when copied. The slug transliterates é to e, ü to u and so on.
Do slugs actually affect SEO?
Modestly but genuinely. A short, descriptive URL helps both search engines and humans understand the page before they open it, and readable URLs earn more clicks in search results and when shared.
Hyphen or underscore between words?
Hyphens. Google treats a hyphen as a word separator and an underscore as a joiner, so my_blog_post reads as one word while my-blog-post reads as three. This tool uses hyphens.
How long should a slug be?
Three to six meaningful words is the sweet spot. Drop filler words like “the”, “a” and “of”, and keep the terms someone would actually search for.
Is it really free, with no sign-up?
Yes — the tool is free, needs no account and has no usage limit. Processing happens locally in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.
