Tool Introduction

Tool Overview

A slug is the human-readable part of a URL after the domain, and good slugs quietly help both readers and rankings: lowercase, ASCII letters, digits, and dashes only, short enough to survive untruncated in search results. This generator normalizes diacritics ("café" → "cafe"), collapses every run of punctuation or spaces into a single separator, trims stray separators from the ends, and caps the result at your chosen length — cutting at a word boundary rather than mid-word. Turn on stopword removal to drop filler words like "a", "the", and "of" the way many SEO plugins do, or switch to underscore separators when a system expects snake_case identifiers. Bulk mode is built in: paste one title per line and each line becomes its own slug, ready to copy back into a spreadsheet or CMS. Everything runs locally in your browser.

FAQ

Why are diacritics stripped?+

Most search engines and CMSs prefer ASCII-only URLs. Stripping diacritics keeps the slug readable across systems and avoids ugly percent-encoding in the address bar.

Should I use dashes or underscores?+

Dashes. Google treats a dash as a word separator but an underscore as a word joiner, so "blue-widgets" is read as two words while "blue_widgets" may be read as one. Use underscores only when a system specifically expects snake_case.

What does stopword removal do?+

It drops common English filler words — a, an, the, and, of, in, to, and similar — so the slug keeps only meaningful keywords. If a title consists entirely of stopwords, the tool keeps them rather than returning an empty slug.

How does the length cap work?+

The slug is truncated to your maximum (default 80 characters), cutting at the last full word rather than mid-word whenever possible, and never leaving a trailing separator.

Can I convert many titles at once?+

Yes. Paste one title per line and each line becomes its own slug, in the same order, ready to copy all at once.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?+

No. Slug generation runs entirely in your browser.
