Slug Generator

A free slug generator that converts any title or text into a clean, URL-safe slug, with a choice of hyphen or underscore separator.

How the Slug Generator works

Type a title and the slug updates instantly — accented characters are stripped, special characters removed, and spaces converted to your chosen separator (hyphen or underscore).

Why slugs matter for SEO

A clean, readable slug (e.g., /best-seo-tools-2026 instead of /post?id=48291) is easier for both users and search engines to understand, and can support keyword relevance in the URL itself.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using underscores when hyphens are the platform standard

Solution:

Most CMS platforms and Google's own guidance favor hyphens over underscores in URLs — use the hyphen separator unless your platform specifically requires underscores.

Leaving a title too long for a clean slug

Solution:

A very long title produces a very long slug — consider shortening to the most important keywords for a cleaner URL.

Assuming special characters are preserved

Solution:

Punctuation and symbols are stripped from the slug entirely — if a character is meaningful, spell it out in words instead (e.g., "and" instead of "&").
