About this tool
URL Slug Generator — A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a page. Clear slugs are easier to scan, share, and maintain.
The generator lowercases text, removes or normalizes unsupported characters, and joins words with hyphens. Review transliteration and meaning before publishing.
How to use it
- Paste a title or phrase.
- Generate the slug.
- Shorten or adjust it, then confirm that it is unique in your site.
Example

Check language-specific letters and transliteration before using the slug as a permanent URL.
Common uses
- Create article and product paths.
- Normalize file or project labels.
- Draft readable identifiers for a CMS.
What to know
- The tool cannot check whether the slug is already used on your website.
- Automatic removal or transliteration can change important names.
Privacy: The operation runs locally in your browser; your input is not uploaded by this tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should a slug include every word in the title?+
No. Keep the words needed to identify the page and remove filler when it does not help clarity.
Can I change a published slug?+
Yes, but changing an indexed URL should be paired with a permanent redirect from the old address.
Are hyphens better than underscores?+
Hyphens are the conventional separator for readable web paths; follow the rules of your platform.
