How to create SEO-friendly URL slugs
A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a page, like how-to-merge-pdf-files. Clean slugs are easier to share, easier to read in search results and less likely to break. Slug Generator turns any title into a tidy, URL-safe slug instantly.
What makes a good slug
Search engines and people both prefer slugs that are:
- Lowercase, with words separated by hyphens.
- Short and descriptive: the main keyword, not the whole headline.
- Free of special characters, spaces and accents.
- Stable: changing a slug later breaks existing links unless you add a redirect.
Accents and special characters
Accented letters are transliterated to plain ASCII (é becomes e, ñ becomes n, ü becomes u), and anything that is not a letter or number becomes the separator you chose. Repeated separators are collapsed, and a maximum length trims the slug cleanly without leaving a separator at the end.
Bulk mode
Paste a list of titles, one per line, and get a table of slugs you can copy all at once. It is handy when importing products, migrating a blog or planning site structure. Everything runs in your browser.
Slugs and SEO
Search engines read the words in a URL, and people are more likely to click a link they can understand. Keep slugs focused on the page topic, drop filler words like a, the and and when they add nothing, and avoid dates in slugs for content you plan to update.
