Slug Generator
Convert a page title or phrase into a short, readable URL slug such as "best-hiking-trails-in-wales". Accented letters are converted to plain ASCII, symbols are removed and you can strip common stop words or cap the length at a whole word. Batch mode converts a whole list of titles at once and exports a CSV.
How to use the Slug Generator
- Type a title, or switch to batch mode and paste one title per line.
- Choose the separator — hyphens are recommended for SEO.
- Toggle lowercase, accent conversion and stop-word removal.
- Optionally set a maximum length.
- Copy the slug, or download all slugs as text or CSV.

Frequently asked questions
Should I use hyphens or underscores in URLs?
Google recommends hyphens. It treats hyphens as word separators, while underscores can join words together.
Should I remove stop words from slugs?
It often makes slugs shorter and clearer, but keep them when removing would change the meaning, for example "to-be-or-not-to-be".
What happens to non-Latin text like Bangla or Arabic?
With accent conversion on, only Latin letters and digits are kept. Turn it off to keep letters from any script; browsers display them, though they are percent-encoded when copied.
How long should a slug be?
There is no strict limit, but short slugs of three to five meaningful words are easier to read and less likely to be truncated.
