To create a URL slug, paste your title into the Slug Generator and it returns a lowercase, hyphenated version with accents transliterated and punctuation removed. Clean slugs are short, readable and safe to use in web addresses.
How to use the Slug Generator
- Paste a title, or a list of titles with one per line.
- Read the generated slug or slugs.
- Shorten the slug by removing filler words if it is long.
- Copy the slug into your CMS or URL field.
Worked example
“10 Café Tips & Tricks!” becomes “10-cafe-tips-tricks”: lowercase, accent removed, symbols dropped and spaces turned into hyphens.
Tips and common mistakes
- Keep slugs short and descriptive, and avoid changing them after publishing without a redirect.
- Use hyphens, not underscores, between words.
- Drop words like “the” and “and” when they add nothing.
