Slug Generator
Convert any title into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug. Bulk mode, stop-word removal, transliteration, history and more.
What is Slug Generator?
A slug generator converts human-readable titles, headings, or phrases into clean URL-safe strings used in web addresses. A good slug is lowercase, uses hyphens instead of spaces, and strips special characters — for example, the title "10 Best Coffee Shops in New York!" becomes "10-best-coffee-shops-in-new-york".
Slugs are used everywhere on the web: WordPress posts, blog URLs, product pages in e-commerce, API endpoint names, and file paths in static site generators. A well-formed slug improves search engine optimisation by including relevant keywords directly in the URL, makes links shareable and readable, and avoids encoding issues caused by spaces and special characters.
This tool goes beyond simple hyphenation. It supports multiple output formats including URL slugs, 'snake_case', and 'camelCase', making it useful for developers naming variables, files, or database columns. CMS presets for WordPress, Shopify, and Ghost apply the exact rules each platform expects. An integrated SEO checker flags slugs that are too long, contain stop words, or lack keywords, helping content creators make better URL decisions before they publish.

Frequently Asked Questions
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a readable way. For example, in "example.com/blog/my-first-post", the slug is "my-first-post".
Generally no. Words like "a", "the", "and", and "of" add length without SEO value. The tool flags them so you can decide whether to remove them.
Best practice is to keep slugs under 60 characters. Longer slugs can be truncated in search results and are harder to share.
Yes. Accented characters like e with an accent or a with an umlaut are automatically transliterated to their ASCII equivalents before the slug is generated.
