About this tool
A slug generator turns a page title into the clean, readable part of a URL — the segment after your domain, like /my-great-blog-post. Paste any headline, product name, or article title and this tool instantly produces a lowercase, hyphen-separated slug that is safe for the web. Bloggers, marketers, and developers use it to create tidy permalinks for WordPress, Next.js, Shopify, and any CMS without hand-editing each one.
Clean URL slugs are an SEO fundamental. Search engines and readers both scan the URL, so a descriptive keyword-led slug like /url-slug-generator beats a cryptic /post?id=4821. This generator strips accents and diacritics (café becomes cafe), lowercases everything, removes punctuation and emoji, and collapses any run of spaces or symbols into a single hyphen — giving you a consistent, canonical slug that avoids duplicate-content and encoding issues.
Like all of our SEO tools, the slug generator runs entirely in your browser. Your titles are never uploaded, logged, or stored, so it is safe for unpublished drafts, client campaigns, and internal projects. It is free, needs no sign-up, and handles edge cases — leading and trailing symbols, mixed separators, and Unicode — so you always get a valid slug with no leftover hyphens.
Examples
Input
My Great Blog Post Title! (2026 Edition)
Output
my-great-blog-post-title-2026-edition
Lowercased; punctuation and parentheses are dropped, and runs of symbols and spaces collapse to a single hyphen.
Input
Café del Mar — Naïve Résumé
Output
cafe-del-mar-naive-resume
Accents and diacritics are normalized and stripped (café becomes cafe, naïve becomes naive).
Input
--Hello, World!--
Output
hello-world
Leading and trailing symbols and hyphens are trimmed so the slug never starts or ends with a hyphen.

Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?+
A slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page, usually after the last slash — for example, "url-slug-generator" in /tools/url-slug-generator. It is normally lowercase and uses hyphens between words.
Is this slug generator free?+
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, no limits, and no watermarks.
Are my titles private?+
Yes. The slug is generated locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device and nothing is uploaded or stored.
How does it handle accents and special characters?+
Accents and diacritics are normalized and stripped (café becomes cafe), letters are lowercased, and any punctuation, emoji, or symbols are removed. Runs of non-alphanumeric characters collapse into a single hyphen, and leading or trailing hyphens are trimmed.
Are slugs good for SEO?+
Yes. Short, descriptive, keyword-led slugs help search engines and readers understand a page before clicking. They are more memorable and shareable than query strings or numeric IDs, and clean hyphenated slugs avoid duplicate-URL and encoding problems.
