URL Slug Generator

A URL slug is the human-readable part of a web address that names a single page, the bit after the domain in something like example.com/blog/url-slug-generator. A slug generator, sometimes called a permalink generator, turns a messy title into that clean form for you. It lowercases everything, swaps spaces for hyphens, converts accented letters to plain ones so cafe replaces café, and strips out punctuation and symbols that would otherwise break a link.

The order of operations matters, and this tool follows the standard one. It lowercases the text, removes accents, optionally drops stop words like a, the and of to keep the slug keyword-focused, replaces every non-letter and non-number with your chosen separator, collapses any repeats and trims the ends, then truncates to your max length back to a whole word. Hyphens are the default for a reason. Google reads them as word separators so each keyword is seen on its own, while underscores fuse the words into a single token.

Slugs are a small but real ranking signal and they sit in every search result, so a short descriptive one with your main keyword is an easy on-page win. Everything runs in your browser, so unpublished titles never leave the page. Build your slug here, then draft the tags with the meta tag generator, check the title with the SERP snippet preview, or explore all the free SEO tools.
