About Slug Generator

Turn page titles, product names or headings into URL slugs, the readable part of a web address such as /blog/how-to-brew-coffee. Each non-empty line becomes its own slug: accents are removed, '&' becomes 'and', apostrophes are dropped, and every run of spaces or punctuation becomes a single separator.

When it helps

  • Creating URLs for blog posts and product pages in a CMS that does not generate them well.
  • Making a batch of slugs for a site migration or a redirect map from a list of titles.
  • Producing safe file names or anchor IDs from headings.
  • Generating keys or identifiers from human-readable labels.

Tips

  • Hyphens are the usual choice for URLs. Google's guidance recommends hyphens over underscores to separate words.
  • Keep 'Lowercase' on for URLs, because many servers treat /About and /about as different pages.
  • Letters from other alphabets are kept, so a Russian or Japanese title stays in its own script. Transliterate it first if you need ASCII-only URLs.
  • Slugs are not shortened. Delete filler words yourself if a title makes a very long URL.
