What is URL Slug Generator?

Free online URL slug generator to convert any title or text into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug.

The tool converts text to lowercase, replaces spaces with hyphens, removes special characters and diacritics, and produces a URL-safe string. Perfect for WordPress permalinks, blog post URLs, product pages, and any content that needs clean links. Paste a headline and slugify it instantly, strip stop words for shorter slugs, and pick a separator style (hyphens or underscores). Accented and Unicode characters are transliterated to ASCII equivalents, so cafe stays readable in the URL. Useful for setting the permalink field in your CMS, generating filename-safe strings, or creating consistent slugs in bulk. No signup required.

Frequently Asked Questions

A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human-readable form. For example, in 'example.com/blog/my-awesome-post', the slug is 'my-awesome-post'. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens to separate words, and contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens.

Clean URLs help search engines understand page content and improve click-through rates from search results. URLs with readable words rank better than those with random IDs or encoded characters. Google recommends using hyphens to separate words in URLs.

The tool removes or transliterates special characters: accented letters become their ASCII equivalents (e.g., 'café' becomes 'cafe'), symbols are removed, and multiple spaces/hyphens are collapsed into a single hyphen.

Paste your post title into the tool, copy the generated slug, then paste it into the permalink or slug field in the WordPress post editor. The output already uses lowercase letters and hyphens, which matches WordPress's default permalink format, so the URL stays clean and readable.

Use hyphens. Search engines treat hyphens as word separators, so my-blog-post is read as three words, while my_blog_post is treated as one. Hyphens are the recommended convention for SEO-friendly URLs. The tool defaults to hyphens but lets you switch to underscores if a system requires them.
