Slug Generator

What makes a good URL slug?

Short, lowercase, hyphen-separated words that describe the page: cafe-recipes-quick-easy. Google treats hyphens as word separators (underscores are not), and clean slugs get clicked more in search results because people can read them.

Frequently asked questions

What does this generator change?

It lowercases the text, transliterates accented characters (é → e, ü → u), converts & to "and", removes all other punctuation, and collapses spaces into single separators.

Should I remove stop words?

It's optional. Shorter slugs are tidier (guide-url-slugs vs a-guide-to-url-slugs), and search engines largely ignore stop words — but keep them if removing them makes the slug misleading.

How long should a slug be?

Aim for 3–6 words. There's no hard limit, but very long URLs get truncated in search results and are painful to share.
