Slug Generator

Turn any title into a clean URL slug.

About

A slug generator takes any title, heading, or phrase and converts it into a clean, URL-friendly string — all lowercase, with spaces and special characters replaced by hyphens or underscores. Whether you're setting up blog post permalinks, product pages, or CMS entries, this free slug generator handles diacritics, punctuation, and whitespace automatically so your URLs stay readable and SEO-friendly.

FAQ
What is a URL slug?+

A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human-readable way — for example, the "/what-is-a-url-slug" portion at the end of a URL. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens as word separators, and contain only alphanumeric characters.

Should I use hyphens or underscores in slugs?+

Google recommends hyphens over underscores for URL slugs. Search engines treat hyphens as word separators, so "my-blog-post" is read as three words. Underscores are treated differently and may cause "myblog_post" to be interpreted as a single token. Use hyphens unless your platform requires underscores.

How does this tool handle accented characters like é, ü, or ñ?+

The generator normalizes accented characters using Unicode NFKD decomposition, which separates a letter from its accent mark. The accent mark is then stripped, leaving just the base letter — so "café" becomes "cafe" and "naïve" becomes "naive" in the final slug.

Are slugs case-sensitive?+

Most web servers treat URLs as case-sensitive, which means "/My-Page" and "/my-page" could be two different addresses. By converting everything to lowercase, a proper slug generator avoids duplicate-content issues and ensures your links are predictable and consistent.
