URL Slug Generator

Turn any title into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug. Paste one or many titles and get lowercase, hyphen-separated slugs without accents, symbols, or spaces.

What the generator does

  1. Converts accented and special letters to plain ASCII (ç → c, ü → u, ß → ss).
  2. Replaces & with "and" and removes apostrophes.
  3. Turns spaces and symbols into your chosen separator.
  4. Merges repeated separators and trims them from the start and end.
  5. Optionally cuts the slug to a maximum length at a word boundary.

SEO best practices for slugs

  • Keep slugs short – 3 to 5 meaningful words is ideal.
  • Include your main keyword.
  • Use hyphens, not underscores or spaces.
  • Avoid dates and numbers that will make the URL outdated.
  • Remove stop words like a, the, and of when they don't add meaning.
