URL Slug Generator
Convert any title or text into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug instantly. Handles accented characters, special symbols, and multiple separator styles.
What is URL Slug Generator?
A URL slug is the human-readable part of a web address that identifies a specific page — for example, the 'url-slug-generator' in 'usetool.space/seo/url-slug-generator'. Clean slugs are easier to remember, easier to share, and signal topical relevance to search engines.
Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens to separate words, strip unnecessary stop words and special characters, and stay concise. A slug like '/best-seo-tools-2024' is far preferable to '/Best%20SEO%20Tools%20(2024)!'.
This tool handles accented characters (café → cafe), special symbols, multiple consecutive spaces, and lets you choose between hyphen, underscore, or dot separators — plus optionally strip common stop words for even shorter slugs.

Aim for 3–5 words. Shorter slugs are easier to read and share. Very long slugs can dilute keyword relevance.
Yes — accented characters like é, ü, or ñ should be transliterated to their ASCII equivalents (e, u, n) to ensure broad URL compatibility across all systems and browsers.
