URL Slug Generator

Turn a title into a short, clean, lowercase URL slug.

Slug

This tool runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us or anyone else.

How to use it

Type a page or post title and the generator turns it into a short, lowercase URL slug: spaces become hyphens, accents and symbols are removed, and common filler words can be dropped.

What makes a good slug

Short and readable: a person should understand the page from the URL alone.
Descriptive: include the main topic, not a list of keywords.
Lowercase with hyphens: avoid spaces, underscores and capital letters.
Stable: avoid dates or numbers you will want to change later, such as a year in a page you plan to update.

Changing an existing URL

Changing the slug of a published page changes its address. If you do, add a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one so visitors and search engines that use the old link still arrive, and update your internal links. If a page already ranks well, a slightly imperfect slug is rarely worth the risk of changing it.
