Slug Generator

Turn any title into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug — lowercase, hyphenated, accent-free.

URL slug
How it works
The generator normalises accented characters to plain ASCII (é → e), lowercases everything, replaces every run of non-alphanumeric characters with a single hyphen, and trims stray hyphens from the ends — producing the URL style search engines and CMSs expect.
Example
"Café & Restaurant — Menu 2026!" becomes cafe-restaurant-menu-2026 — readable, unambiguous and safe in any URL.
Frequently asked questions
Why hyphens instead of underscores?
Search engines treat hyphens as word separators; underscores glue words together. Hyphens are the SEO convention.
Are non-Latin scripts supported?
Characters without an ASCII equivalent are dropped; for Hindi or other scripts consider transliterating first.
How long should a slug be?
Keep the meaningful words and drop filler — 3–6 words is typical; there is no hard limit.
Does changing a slug hurt SEO?
Changing a published URL loses its history unless you add a 301 redirect from the old slug.
