Slug Generator

A slug is the URL-friendly version of a title or headline — for example, "How to Make Coffee" becomes the slug "how-to-make-coffee". Slugs appear in URLs, are used by blogs and CMS platforms, and help both users and search engines understand what a page is about. Clean, descriptive slugs are a core part of good SEO and readable links.

It lowercases the text, strips accents and non-URL characters (like emoji and punctuation), replaces spaces and special characters with a separator, and collapses duplicate separators. The result is a clean, SEO-friendly slug you can paste directly into a URL, CMS, or framework.

Hyphens (how-to-make-coffee) are the standard for URLs and are recommended by Google for SEO. Underscores (how_to_make_coffee) are used in some systems and programming contexts. The tool lets you switch between them instantly, and also shows a dotted variant (how.to.make.coffee) used by some platforms.

Yes. Accented letters are transliterated to their ASCII equivalents — for example, "café" becomes "cafe" and "déjà vu" becomes "deja-vu". Characters that cannot be transliterated, such as emoji or Chinese characters, are removed entirely so the slug always contains only letters, digits, and your chosen separator.

It caps the slug at a chosen character count and cuts it at the nearest word boundary so words are never split in the middle. Many platforms and SEO guidelines recommend keeping URLs concise, and this option lets you enforce a limit such as 50 or 60 characters in one click.

When enabled, an ampersand (&) is expanded to "and", so "R&D" becomes "r-and-d" instead of the hard-to-read "rd". When disabled, the ampersand is simply removed like other special characters. Keeping it on produces clearer, more meaningful slugs.
