Slug Generator
Turn any title into a clean, lowercase, hyphenated URL slug — live.
Turn any title into a clean URL slug
A slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page, such as
my-first-blog-post. The Slug Generator converts any title or phrase into a tidy, lowercase
slug: it strips accents, removes punctuation and symbols, and replaces spaces with hyphens — updating
live as you type.
Why clean slugs matter
Short, descriptive, hyphenated slugs are easier for people to read and share, and search engines treat the words in a slug as a small ranking signal. Keeping slugs lowercase and free of special characters also avoids broken links caused by URL-encoding.
How to use the Slug Generator
- Type your title. Enter the title or phrase you want to turn into a slug.
- Watch the slug form. Accents, spaces and symbols are cleaned automatically as you type.
- Copy the slug. Use the copy button to grab the finished slug.
- Use it in your URL. Paste it into your CMS, route or permalink field.
Frequently asked questions
How are accented letters handled?
They are normalised and stripped of their accents, so “Café” becomes “cafe”.
What happens to spaces and symbols?
Runs of spaces, punctuation and symbols become single hyphens, and any leading or trailing hyphens are removed.
Does it change the case?
Yes. Slugs are made lowercase, which is the safest and most common convention for URLs.
Is my input uploaded?
No. The slug is generated in your browser and nothing you type is stored.
