About this tool

Generate SEO-friendly slugs from any text: lowercase, hyphenated, Unicode-safe and stripped of punctuation. Great for blog posts, routes and file names.

How it works

The generator lowercases, normalises Unicode (NFKD) to strip accents, replaces non-alphanumeric runs with hyphens, and trims edges. Optional limits keep slugs concise.

How to use Slug Generator

  1. 1Type or paste your title (e.g. a blog post title).
  2. 2The slug updates live as you type.
  3. 3Toggle options like word count limits.
  4. 4Copy the slug for your CMS or routes.

Examples

"How to Write a Great Slug" → how-to-write-a-great-slug

"Café & Bakery — NYC" → cafe-bakery-nyc

" Welcome to ToolCraft! " → welcome-to-toolcraft

Pro tips

  • Keep slugs short and readable — they help both users and search engines.
  • The tool strips accents (é → e) but keeps letters for other scripts.
  • Use it to generate consistent file names for downloads too.

Frequently asked questions

What is a slug?

The human-readable portion of a URL that identifies a page, e.g. /blog/how-to-write-a-great-slug.

Does it handle non-English text?

Yes. Accented Latin characters are transliterated to ASCII and other scripts are preserved.

Can I set a maximum length?

Yes — a word limit trims the slug while keeping it meaningful.
