Home/Free Tools/URL Slug Generator

URL Slug Generator

Turn headlines into clean, SEO-friendly URL slugs — lowercase, hyphenated, no junk.

Accents are stripped (café → cafe), stop characters removed, words joined with your separator.

How this works

The tool normalizes your headline: accents are stripped, everything becomes lowercase, punctuation is removed, and words are joined with hyphens (or underscores).

Clean slugs are easier to read, share and rank — search engines and humans both prefer them over ?p=123 style URLs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hyphen or underscore — which is better?

Hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators; underscores join words into one token.

What happens to non-English characters?

Accents are transliterated (café → cafe). Other scripts are removed — keep slugs in plain a-z where possible.

Is there a length limit?

No hard limit, but 3–5 words is the sweet spot for readability and SEO.
