Frequently Asked Questions

The tool converts your text to a URL-friendly slug by lowercasing all characters, replacing spaces with your chosen separator (hyphen, underscore, or dot), removing special characters, and optionally transliterating accented characters. All processing happens instantly in your browser.
Yes. The slug generator runs 100% client-side in your browser using JavaScript. Your text and generated slugs are never sent to any server, stored, or shared with anyone. No data leaves your device.
The tool supports hyphens (-), underscores (_), and dots (.) as word separators. Hyphens are the most common and recommended for SEO because search engines treat them as word separators. Underscores are common for filenames, and dots are used in some specific URL conventions.
Yes. Enable the transliteration option to automatically convert accented and special characters to their ASCII equivalents — for example, — becomes e, — becomes n, — becomes u, and — becomes ss. This ensures your slugs are compatible with all URL standards.
For best SEO performance, keep slugs between 3—5 words. Short, descriptive slugs are easier for search engines to parse and for users to read. Avoid excessively long slugs with unnecessary stop words. You can use the max length option to enforce a character limit on your generated slugs.

Slugs: small URLs that do a lot of work

A slug is the URL-friendly form of a title or phrase: "Best React Hooks Tutorial 2026" becomes "best-react-hooks-tutorial-2026". Search engines, content management systems, and static-site generators all rely on slugs as the canonical identifier for an article or page. A clean slug is short, hyphenated, lowercase, free of special characters, and preserves the meaningful keywords from the original title.

What a good slug looks like

SEO considerations

Search engines use the URL as one of many signals to understand the page topic. Descriptive slugs help people decide whether to click in search results, and they tend to look better in social shares and email previews than auto-generated UUIDs or numeric IDs. Keep slugs under about 60 characters where possible; long URLs get truncated in search snippets.

Common platform conventions

WordPress, Ghost, Hugo, Jekyll, Eleventy, Next.js, Astro, and Notion-published sites all use slugs as part of their permalink structure. Some platforms regenerate the slug if the title changes — turn that off for published posts so you do not break inbound links and SEO. If you must change a slug after publishing, set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one.
