Slug Generator

Turn a title into a clean URL slug — accents folded, punctuation dropped, stop words removed if you want them gone.

Google treats hyphens as word separators and underscores as joiners. Use hyphens.
a, the, of, in, for… Removing shortens the slug but can make it read oddly.
Trimmed at a word boundary, never mid-word.

Nothing you type here is uploaded, stored or sent anywhere. It all runs in your browser.

What makes a good slug

  • Short and readable. A slug someone can read aloud is one they can also remember and link to.
  • Hyphens, not underscores. Google splits on hyphens; underscores join words together.
  • Lowercase always. Some servers treat cases as different URLs, which quietly splits your link equity in two.
  • No dates or IDs unless the content genuinely expires. A slug with 2026 in it ages badly.

Changing a slug on a live page

A published URL has links pointing at it. If you change it, 301 the old one to the new one — otherwise every link built to that page stops passing anything, which is an expensive way to tidy a URL.

Built the page, now it needs authority

A clean URL helps. Links are what actually move it.
