A well-formed slug improves SEO and user experience. This tool converts any title into a slug: it lowercases it, removes accents and punctuation, and joins the words with hyphens.
How to use it
-
Enter your title
For example “My Great Article!”.
-
Choose the separator
Hyphen (recommended) or underscore.
-
Copy the slug
Reuse it in your CMS or your code.
Transformation examples
| Entered title | Generated slug |
|---|---|
| My Great Article! | my-great-article |
| Recipe: Apple Pie | recipe-apple-pie |
| Economy & Society | economy-society |
| Multiple spaces | multiple-spaces |
Best practices
- Keep it short: keep the essential keywords.
- Avoid stop words (the, a, of…) where possible.
- Don’t change a published slug without setting up a redirect.
Frequently asked questions
What is a slug?
The slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a page, for example “my-great-article” in /blog/my-great-article. A good slug is short, lowercase, with no accents or special characters.
Why does a slug matter for SEO?
A clear, descriptive URL helps search engines and users understand the page content. It is also easier to share and remember.
Why remove accents?
URLs handle accented characters poorly, turning them into unreadable codes (é → %C3%A9). The slug replaces “é” with “e” to stay clean and universal.
Hyphen or underscore?
For URLs, the hyphen (-) is recommended: search engines treat it as a word separator, unlike the underscore (_). The tool offers both.
