Slug Generator

What is this tool?

A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in an easy-to-read way, e.g. the best-coffee-shops-in-edinburgh in edinburghseo.org/blog/best-coffee-shops-in-edinburgh/. Clean slugs help both search engines and users understand what a page is about at a glance.

This tool takes any title or piece of text and converts it into a proper slug: it lowercases everything, transliterates accented characters (like é, ñ, ü, ç) into plain ASCII equivalents, strips punctuation and symbols, and replaces spaces with your chosen separator.

• Type or paste your title into the box above — the slug updates live as you type.
• Switch between a hyphen or underscore separator (hyphens are the SEO-recommended default).
• Optionally strip common stop words to keep slugs short and focused.
• Click "Copy" to copy the generated slug straight to your clipboard.

Good practice: keep slugs short, descriptive, and free of dates or filler words where possible, and always use hyphens rather than underscores for URLs — search engines treat hyphens as word separators.
