Slug Generator

Generate SEO-friendly URL slugs from any text.

Creating clean URL slugs

A slug is the readable last part of a web address, such as /blog/how-to-calculate-emi. A clear slug helps visitors understand a link before clicking and gives search engines a hint about the topic.

What the tool does

It converts your title to lowercase, removes punctuation and accents, replaces spaces with hyphens and collapses repeated hyphens. For example, "10 Best Free Tools (2026)!" becomes 10-best-free-tools-2026.

Good slug practice

  • Keep it short and descriptive, usually 3โ€“6 words.
  • Use hyphens, not underscores or spaces.
  • Leave out filler words such as "the" or "and" when the meaning stays clear.
  • Do not change a slug after publishing. If you must, add a 301 redirect from the old address.

Frequently asked questions

Should the slug include the year?

Only if the page will be replaced every year. Otherwise a date in the address makes content look outdated later.
