Slugify — URL Slug Generator
Turn any title or text into a clean, lowercase, hyphenated URL slug — accents stripped, punctuation removed.
About the URL Slug Generator
A clean slug makes a URL easier to read, share, and rank. This tool converts any headline or phrase into a safe, lowercase, hyphen-separated slug: it transliterates accented letters to plain ASCII, strips punctuation and symbols, collapses runs of spaces, and trims stray separators. Use it for blog posts, product pages, category URLs, file names, CSS classes, or anywhere you need a tidy, predictable identifier.
- Keep slugs short and keyword-focused — turn on “remove small words” for punchier URLs.
- Prefer hyphens over underscores so search engines treat each word separately.
- Set a max length to keep very long titles from producing unwieldy URLs.
