Turn a title into a clean URL slug
A slug is the readable part of a web address — the "clean-url-slug" at the end of a link. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens instead of spaces, and drop punctuation and accents, which keeps URLs tidy, shareable, and friendly to search engines. Doing this by hand is fiddly; this tool converts any headline into a safe slug instantly.
How to use it
- Type or paste a title or phrase.
- Copy the generated slug.
- Use it as the path for a blog post, product page, or documentation section.
What makes a good slug
- Short and descriptive — keep the meaningful words, drop filler.
- Lowercase with hyphens, never spaces or underscores.
- Accents and symbols removed so every browser and server handles it the same way.
Questions people ask
Why hyphens and not underscores? Search engines treat hyphens as word separators but underscores as joiners, so hyphenated slugs read as distinct words.
Will it handle other languages? Accented Latin characters are simplified to their base letters; non-Latin scripts are stripped, so add a transliteration if you need one.
