Free Slug Generator

This free online slug generator turns any title or sentence into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug in real time. It lowercases your text, removes accents and special characters, and joins the words with a hyphen or underscore — so Héllo World! 2024 becomes hello-world-2024. Paste a single title or a whole list and get one slug per line. It’s free, instant and runs entirely in your browser.

How to use the slug generator

  1. Type or paste your title into the box on the left (or click Load sample).
  2. The clean slug appears instantly on the right, updating as you type.
  3. Choose your separator (hyphen or underscore) and toggle lowercase, accent stripping or stop-word removal.
  4. Optionally set a max length to keep slugs short and tidy.
  5. Click Copy slug to copy the result. For a list, each line in becomes one slug out.

What is a URL slug and why it matters for SEO

A slug is the readable part of a web address that identifies a single page — in example.com/blog/best-coffee-tips, the slug is best-coffee-tips. A good slug is short, all lowercase, and uses hyphens to separate words. It contains no spaces, no uppercase letters, no accented characters and no punctuation, because those can be encoded into ugly sequences like %20 or break links when shared.

Clean slugs matter for search. Google reads the words in a URL, so a descriptive slug containing your target keyword gives both search engines and human visitors a clear preview of the page. Tidy slugs are also easier to read, type, and share on social media, and they look more trustworthy in search results. Removing common stop-words such as the, and or of can make a slug even shorter and more focused, which is why many publishers strip them out before publishing a post.

Frequently asked questions

Is this slug generator free and private?
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, and every slug is generated in your browser with JavaScript. Your text is never uploaded to a server.
What characters does a clean URL slug allow?
A safe slug uses only lowercase letters, numbers and a single separator (a hyphen or an underscore). This tool removes spaces, punctuation and symbols, and converts accented letters like é into plain letters, so the slug works reliably in every browser.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in a slug?
Hyphens are recommended for web URLs because search engines treat a hyphen as a word separator, while an underscore can join words together. Underscores are fine for file names or systems that expect them. You can switch between the two with the separator option.
Can I create many slugs at once?
Yes. Paste a list with one title per line and the tool returns one slug per line in the same order. This is handy for bulk-creating slugs for blog posts, products or categories.
What does removing stop-words do?
When enabled, common short words such as the, and, of, to and in are dropped from the slug. This makes the slug shorter and keeps the focus on the meaningful keywords, which many publishers prefer for cleaner URLs.
