Slug Generator
Turn titles into clean, lowercase, SEO-friendly URL slugs.
About this slug generator
A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a page, like /tools/word-counter/. Short, descriptive, lowercase slugs are easier for people to read and share and give search engines a clear hint about the page topic.
This generator converts titles into slugs by lowercasing, removing accents and punctuation, replacing spaces with hyphens and optionally dropping filler words. Paste several titles, one per line, to create slugs in bulk.
How to use the Slug Generator
- Paste one or more titles, one per line.
- Choose hyphens or underscores and other options.
- Copy the slugs.
What makes a good slug
Google recommends using hyphens rather than underscores to separate words in URLs. Keep slugs short and focused on the main keyword, and avoid dates if you plan to update the content.
Worked example
"10 Best Free Tools for Small Businesses in 2026!" becomes 10-best-free-tools-for-small-businesses-in-2026, or 10-best-free-tools-small-businesses-2026 with stop words removed.
Tips for better results
- Don't change slugs on pages that are already indexed without adding a 301 redirect from the old URL.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use hyphens or underscores in URLs?
Hyphens. Search engines treat hyphens as word separators.
Should a slug include stop words?
It's optional. Removing them shortens URLs, but keep them if the slug reads strangely without them.
