URL Slug Generator

This tool turns any title, heading or phrase into a clean URL slug: the lowercase, hyphenated part of a web address that identifies a page. A good slug matters more than people realise. It is the human-readable tail of a URL, the bit after the domain, and search engines, readers and link-sharers all pay attention to it. A tidy slug like best-flat-white-wellington is clear, memorable and good for SEO, whereas a messy one full of capitals, spaces, punctuation or odd characters looks untrustworthy and can even break when shared. Creating slugs by hand means lower-casing everything, replacing spaces with hyphens, stripping out punctuation and stray symbols, and dealing with accented letters, which is fiddly to get right every time. This generator does it all in one step. You type or paste your text, and it produces a clean slug: it converts everything to lower case, removes accents and macrons by reducing letters to their basic form, strips out any character that is not a letter, number or hyphen, replaces spaces and punctuation with single hyphens, and trims hyphens from the ends. The result updates as you type, ready to copy straight into your content management system, blog, or link. Use it for blog posts and articles, product and category pages, documentation, or anywhere you need a neat permalink. A few SEO tips: keep slugs short and descriptive, include your main keyword, and avoid stop words where you can, since a concise slug is easier to read and to rank. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your text stays on your device.
