URL Slug Generator
Type a title and get a clean, URL-friendly slug instantly.
Accented and non-Latin characters are stripped — the result is always plain lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens.
What makes a good slug?
A slug is the final segment of a page's URL — for example, in toolbench.site/webquick/slug-generator, "slug-generator" is the slug. A good slug is short, readable and free of odd characters or spaces; it uses hyphens instead of spaces and usually includes keywords relevant to the page's content. These qualities help both the person reading the URL and the search engines trying to understand what the page is about.
Keep slugs stable
Once a page is published and indexed, avoid changing its slug — doing so breaks existing links and bookmarks unless you set up a proper redirect. It's worth getting the slug right (or close to it) the first time.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is a slug?
A slug is the part of a page's URL usually built from its title, containing only lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, optimized for both human readers and search engines.
Should I edit the generated slug?
Sometimes — very long titles produce very long slugs. Trimming a slug down to the most important keywords is usually a good idea.
Does changing a slug affect SEO?
Yes. Changing the slug of an already-published, indexed page changes its URL, which can break existing links unless you set up a redirect from the old address.
Why are some characters removed from the output?
Characters that are neither letters nor numbers (like punctuation) are stripped from the slug so the final address stays clean and valid.
