How to Generate Clean URL Slugs from Titles
Open the Slug Generator
Navigate to the tool. No signup required.
Type your title or heading
Paste in a blog post title, product name, or any phrase you want to become a URL slug.
Pick separator and casing
Default is lowercase hyphens — standard for SEO. Switch to underscores or dots if your stack requires it.
Copy your slug
The clean slug appears below in real time. Click Copy and paste it into your CMS or framework.
Pro Tips
- •Hyphens are Google’s recommended slug separator. Underscores are treated as letter-joiners (so foo_bar reads as foobar).
- •Shorter slugs rank slightly better. Aim for 3–5 meaningful words and drop articles like "the" and "a".
- •Numbers in slugs are fine, but avoid dates if you ever want to update the post — dated URLs feel stale even when content is fresh.
- •Once a slug is live and ranking, do not change it. If you must, set up a 301 redirect from the old URL.
- •Accents (café → cafe) and symbols (& → and) are converted automatically so the slug works in any URL.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do URLs need slugs?
Slugs let humans and search engines read URLs at a glance. /how-to-make-coffee is far better for SEO and shareability than /post/12345 or /p?id=12345.
Does the slug generator handle special characters?
Yes. Accents are normalized (café → cafe), emojis are stripped, ampersands become "and", and anything else non-alphanumeric becomes a separator.
Can I use uppercase letters in URLs?
Technically yes, but lowercase is standard. Mixed-case URLs cause issues on case-sensitive servers (Linux) and look messy. Keep them lowercase.
What separator should I use?
Hyphens for SEO (Google’s recommendation). Underscores only if your framework specifically requires them. Avoid dots in path segments — they can confuse routers.
Are my titles uploaded anywhere?
No. Slug generation is pure string manipulation in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
Slug Generator vs Alternatives
Some CMSs auto-generate slugs from titles, but the quality varies and edge cases (accents, emojis, symbols) often break them.
WordPress auto-slug
Built-in CMS slug generation
Key difference: Works for English but butchers accented characters and non-Latin scripts. Locked to WordPress.
Ghost / Hugo / Jekyll
Static site generator slugs
Key difference: Each handles slugs differently. Useful only if you are already in their ecosystem.
lodash kebabCase
JS library function
Key difference: Great for developers but requires writing code. Does not normalize accents or handle special characters by default.
Works in your browser, handles accents and special characters cleanly, lets you preview before pasting into any CMS.
