Your Clicks, Our Hype
URL Slug Generator
Paste a title and get a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug in real time — with stop-word removal, length control, batch mode and support for accented characters (café → cafe).
The full URL above updates as you type. Only the coloured part is the slug.
Slug length: 0 characters
Words: 0
Options
These apply to both single and batch mode, and update every slug instantly.
Separator
Google recommends hyphens — they are read as word separators.
Words
Remove stop words
Drops small filler words (the, and, how, your…) for shorter slugs.
Keep numbers
Turn off to strip digits like years and list counts.
Max length
characters
0 = no limit. When trimming, the slug is cut at a word boundary — never mid-word.
What makes a good URL slug?
The slug is the readable part of a URL after the last slash. Search engines and readers both use it, so keep it clear and stable.
- Short and focused — 3 to 5 words covering the main keyword is plenty.
- Include the keyword — the words people would actually search for.
- Use hyphens, not underscores — Google treats a hyphen as a word separator; an underscore joins words together.
- No dates or years in evergreen posts — a slug with “2024” looks stale fast and is painful to change later.
- Lowercase, no accents or symbols — this tool converts café → cafe and removes punctuation automatically.
- Don't change a published slug without a 301 redirect — you'll break links and lose rankings.
