About URL Slug Generator
A URL slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page — for example, in "https://codekeet.com/blog/how-to-build-a-website", the slug is "how-to-build-a-website". Good slugs are lowercase, hyphen-separated, and contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens. They improve SEO, are easier to share, and look cleaner in search results. This tool converts any title or phrase into a well-formed slug, handling accented characters (café → cafe), non-Latin scripts (Hindi, Arabic, Cyrillic → transliterated), emoji, and punctuation. It also supports options like removing "stop words" (a, an, the) and generating slugs in bulk.
How It Works
- Type or paste your title into the input box.
- Choose your slug options: separator, case, stop word removal, max length.

💡 Advanced Tips & Pro Insights
- ▸Keep slugs under 5 words for best SEO and readability. Long slugs dilute keyword focus and are harder to share.
- ▸Always use hyphens (-) as separators, not underscores (_). Google treats hyphens as word separators but underscores as part of the word.
- ▸Remove stop words (a, an, the, and, or, of) to make slugs shorter and more keyword-focused.
- ▸Never change a published URL slug — it breaks existing links. If you must change it, set up a 301 redirect.
- ▸Avoid dates in slugs (e.g., /2026/09/my-post). They age the content and complicate future updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this slug generator free?▾
Yes, this URL slug generator is completely free with no signup, email, or usage limits.
Is my data safe?▾

What is a URL slug?▾
A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable way. For example, in "example.com/blog/how-to-code", the slug is "how-to-code".
What is a good slug?▾
A good slug is lowercase, uses hyphens between words, contains only letters and numbers, is short (ideally 3-6 words), and includes your main keyword. Example: "how-to-build-a-website".
Should I use hyphens or underscores?▾
Always use hyphens (-). Google and other search engines treat hyphens as word separators, but treat underscores as part of the word. "my-post" is better than "my_post".
What are stop words?▾
Stop words are common short words like "a", "an", "the", "and", "or", "of", "in", "to". Removing them makes slugs shorter and more focused. But sometimes keeping them improves readability: "how-to-code" vs "how-code".
Does it handle Hindi or other non-Latin text?▾
Yes, common transliterations are supported (Hindi, Cyrillic, Greek, etc.). For example, "नमस्ते" becomes "namaste". Complex scripts may not transliterate perfectly — review the output.
What is Batch Mode?▾
Batch mode lets you convert many titles at once — paste one per line and get one slug per line back. Useful for migrating a large blog or product catalog.
