Turn a title into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug.
Generated locally in your browser.
How do you generate a URL slug from a title?
The text is lowercased, accents are stripped, spaces and punctuation become the separator, and repeated separators are collapsed into one. Short, descriptive slugs are easier to read and share and help search engines understand the page. For example, "My Awesome Blog Post!" becomes "my-awesome-blog-post".
Understanding your result
Short, descriptive slugs are easier to read and share, and help search engines understand the page.
Formula and method
The text is lowercased, accents are stripped, spaces and punctuation become the separator, and repeated separators are collapsed.
Assumptions and limitations
The tool creates a slug from the text you give it; it does not check whether that slug is already in use on your site or shorten it for you. Very long titles produce long slugs unless you trim the input. Stop words like the and of are kept. Processing happens in your browser.
Worked example
“My Awesome Blog Post!” becomes “my-awesome-blog-post”.
How to use this tool
- Type your title.
- Choose a separator.
- Copy the slug.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving very long slugs — trim to the key words.

Frequently asked questions
Does it handle accents?
Yes. Accented letters are converted to their basic Latin equivalents where possible.
Should I remove short words like 'the' from my slug?
It is optional. Shorter slugs are easier to read and share, so many people trim common words, but keeping them is fine and does not break anything. The tool leaves your words as given, so edit the title first if you want a more concise slug.
Can I use the same slug on more than one page?
Each page on a site normally needs its own unique slug, since two pages sharing one path would clash. This tool generates the slug but cannot see your site, so check for an existing match yourself and adjust the title if you need a distinct one.
