URL Slug Generator
Clean, readable URLs from any title.
URL Slug Generator turns a title into a clean URL segment: lowercase, accents removed, punctuation stripped, spaces turned into hyphens, and optional stop words dropped for a shorter slug. It handles Cyrillic and Greek by transliteration rather than by deleting the characters. It runs in the page, so titles are never uploaded.

Questions about URL Slug Generator
Should I remove stop words?
Sometimes. Dropping "the", "a" and "of" gives a tighter slug, but it can hurt readability and it is not a ranking factor by itself. Keep them when the title reads badly without them.
How are accents handled?
Transliterated: é becomes e, ü becomes u, ß becomes ss, ñ becomes n. Cyrillic and Greek are romanised. Deleting them instead, which many generators do, turns "Núñez" into "nez".
How long should a slug be?
Short enough to read in a search result — three to six words is typical. There is no hard limit, but very long slugs get truncated in listings and are awkward to share.
Should the slug match the page title exactly?
It does not have to. A slug is a weak signal at best, so a shortened version that keeps the phrase people search for beats a forty-word URL. Cut the words that carry no meaning on their own.
Can I change a slug after publishing?
You can, but the old URL breaks unless you add a redirect from it. Existing links and shares point at the old address, so it is worth settling the slug before the page goes out.
Is URL Slug Generator really free, with no limits?
Yes. There is no account, no daily cap, no file-size tier and no watermark, because there is no server cost to recover. The site is funded by clearly disclosed partner recommendations on the Partners page, never by metering the tools.
Are my files or text uploaded when I use URL Slug Generator?
No. Everything is processed by JavaScript running in your browser, on your device. You can verify it: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and use the tool. You will see no request carrying your data — because there is nowhere for it to go.
