What it does

A good slug is short, lowercase and free of punctuation. Paste a title and get a URL-safe version with accents transliterated, stop words optionally removed and words separated by single hyphens.

Turn a headline into a clean, lowercase, hyphenated URL slug.

How to use it

Here is the short version of using URL Slugify Generator.

  • Paste the headline — Any language works; accented characters are transliterated where possible.
  • Choose slug options — Set the separator, limit the length and optionally strip common stop words.
  • Copy the slug — Use it as the final path segment of your page, product or post URL.

Features that matter

What URL Slugify Generator does well.

  • Nothing leaves your device — The work happens in your browser tab. There is no upload endpoint in this app, so your files and text cannot be stored, logged or seen by us.
  • No upload wait — You skip the round trip to a server entirely. Results are limited by your own CPU, not by network speed or queue size.
  • Free, no account, no quotas — No sign-up wall, no watermark, no daily limit. Optional accounts only exist to save favourites and presets across devices.

Frequently asked questions

Is my headline safe to use here?

Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you paste or open is sent to a server, and the page keeps no copy after you close it.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Every tool is fully usable without signing in. An account only adds saved favourites and reusable presets.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The interface is mobile-first with large touch targets and a stacked layout, so it works on phones and tablets as well as desktops.

Should I remove stop words from a slug?

Only when the result stays readable. Removing “a”, “the” and “of” shortens a URL, but keeping them can make long-tail keywords clearer. Test both against the phrase people actually search for.

How long should a slug be?

Aim for three to six words. Shorter slugs are easier to share and less likely to be truncated in search results, while still describing the page accurately.
