Slug Generator
ContentConvert titles to SEO-friendly URL slugs. Remove special characters and create clean, readable permalinks.
What is This Tool?
A slug generator converts text, titles, and phrases into URL-friendly slugs by lowercasing, removing special characters, and replacing spaces with hyphens. Properly formatted slugs improve SEO, readability, and shareability of your web page URLs.
URL slugs are the human-readable portion of a URL path (e.g., /my-awesome-blog-post). Search engines use slugs as a ranking signal, and clean URLs improve click-through rates in search results and social media shares. A good slug is concise, descriptive, and keyword-rich.

Frequently Asked Questions
What characters are allowed in slugs?
URL slugs typically contain only lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens (-). All other characters are removed or transliterated.
How does slugification help SEO?
Search engines treat words in URLs as relevance signals. Clean, descriptive slugs like /best-password-generator rank better than /page?id=12345 and get higher click-through rates.
Are accented characters handled?
Yes. Characters like é, ñ, ü are transliterated to their ASCII equivalents (e, n, u) for maximum URL compatibility.
