The URL Slug Generator converts any text into clean, SEO-friendly URL slugs instantly. Whether you're building a blog, CMS, or e-commerce site, this tool transforms titles and headings into properly formatted URL paths that are readable by both humans and search engines.
Step-by-Step
Enter your text — Paste or type the title, heading, or phrase you want to convert into a URL slug.
Choose a separator — Select between hyphens (-), underscores (_), or dots (.) as your word separator.
Configure options — Set a maximum length, enable transliteration for non-Latin characters (é → e, ü → u), and toggle lowercase conversion.
Preview the slug — See the generated slug update in real time as you type and adjust settings.
Copy the result — Click the clipboard button to copy the slug for use in your CMS, router, or database.
Features
Smart Word Separation — Automatically splits words on spaces, special characters, and camelCase boundaries for clean slug output.
Transliteration — Converts accented and non-Latin characters to their ASCII equivalents (e.g., "café résumé" → "cafe-resume").
Stop Word Removal — Optionally removes common stop words (a, the, is, and, etc.) to create shorter, more focused slugs.
Max Length Enforcement — Set a character limit and the slug is truncated at a word boundary to avoid cutting words in half.
Duplicate Suffix — Automatically appends numeric suffixes (-1, -2) when generating multiple slugs from similar titles, useful for CMS integrations.
Bulk Mode — Paste multiple titles (one per line) to generate slugs for all of them at once, perfect for batch processing.
Common Use Cases
Blog Posts — Convert post titles like "How to Build a REST API in 2024" into clean slugs like how-to-build-rest-api-2024.
E-Commerce Products — Generate product URL slugs from product names, ensuring consistent and readable URLs across your store.
CMS Development — Integrate slug generation logic into your content management system's publishing workflow.
SEO Optimization — Create keyword-rich URL slugs that improve search engine rankings and click-through rates.
Internationalization — Handle non-Latin titles with transliteration to create ASCII-safe slugs that work in all browsers and servers.
Why Use This Tool
URL slugs are a critical part of SEO and user experience. Poorly formatted URLs with spaces, special characters, or excessive length hurt search rankings and look unprofessional. This generator handles all the edge cases — transliteration, stop words, duplicate detection, and length limits — so you get consistently clean, optimized slugs every time. It runs entirely in your browser with no server processing, making it fast and private.
