Slug Generator

A URL slug is the part of a web address that comes after the domain name, typically identifying a specific page in human-readable form. For example, in example.com/how-to-write-clean-code, the slug is how-to-write-clean-code.

Good slugs are short, descriptive, and use hyphens to separate words. They improve both SEO and user experience — search engines use slugs as a ranking signal, and users can understand the page content before clicking. Avoid stopwords (a, the, is), keep slugs under 60 characters when possible, and use lowercase letters only.

This tool converts any input text into a properly formatted slug by lowercasing, removing special characters, replacing spaces with hyphens, and collapsing consecutive separators. It handles unicode characters and provides multiple separator options.
