Convert any text into a clean, URL-safe slug. Live as you type.
A URL slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a specific page — like /my-awesome-blog-post in https://example.com/my-awesome-blog-post. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens to separate words, and contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Slugs matter for SEO because search engines use URL keywords as a ranking signal. A URL like /how-to-learn-python tells Google exactly what the page is about, while /post?id=12345 tells it nothing. Slugs also improve link sharing — humans can read and remember clean URLs.
Slug generation involves lowercasing, replacing spaces with hyphens (or underscores), removing special characters, transliterating accented characters (cafe becomes cafe), and optionally removing common stop words (a, the, is, of) to keep URLs short. This tool handles all of these transformations in real time as you type.

A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a page — in example.com/blog/my-first-post, my-first-post is the slug. Slugs help SEO (search engines use them as ranking signals), improve shareability, and are easier to read than numeric IDs or random hashes.
Accented letters are transliterated to their closest ASCII equivalent: café becomes cafe, naïve becomes naive, München becomes munchen. Non-Latin scripts (Chinese, Arabic, Cyrillic) are either transliterated or stripped depending on the character, so double-check slugs for multilingual content.
SEO best practice is to omit them when they don't change meaning. "The 10 Best Laptops" → 10-best-laptops, not the-10-best-laptops. But keep them when they matter: "The Matrix" needs "the" to disambiguate. This tool keeps stop words; strip them manually if you prefer.
Aim for 3-5 words and under 60 characters. Shorter is better for sharing and memorability. Very long slugs get truncated in search results and social previews. If the title is long, pick the most distinctive keywords rather than including every word.
