About the Slug Generator

A slug is the readable part of a URL that names a page, such as how-to-make-bread in example.com/blog/how-to-make-bread. Good slugs are short, lowercase, and use hyphens.

How to use it

  1. 1 Type or paste a title.
  2. 2 Pick the separator if you need something other than a hyphen.
  3. 3 Copy the slug into your CMS or code.

Frequently asked questions

Should slugs use hyphens or underscores?

Hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators, while underscores join words together.

How long should a slug be?

Keep it short and descriptive, usually 3 to 6 words. Drop filler words like "a", "the", and "and" when they add nothing.

What happens to accents and symbols?

Accented letters are converted to plain letters (é becomes e) and other symbols are removed, so the slug works in every browser.
