URL Slug Generator
Turn any title or text into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug. Choose your separator, strip accents, and set a max length — all in your browser, nothing uploaded.
URL Slug Generator converts any text into a clean, lowercase, URL-safe slug — replacing spaces and punctuation with a separator, stripping accented characters, and collapsing repeats. Paste multiple lines to generate a slug for each one at once. Choose hyphens or underscores, keep or strip original casing, and cap the output at a maximum length. Everything runs locally in your browser. Built by FreeToolHub.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human- and search-engine-readable way, for example the "url-slug-generator" in freetoolhub.tools/url-slug-generator/. Good slugs are short, lowercase, and use hyphens instead of spaces.
Why does this tool remove accented characters?
Web servers and browsers handle plain ASCII characters in URLs most reliably. Converting é to e, ø to o, and so on keeps your slug readable and avoids encoding issues, while it still reads naturally.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in a slug?
Hyphens are recommended for SEO. Google treats a hyphen as a word separator but treats an underscore as a joining character, so "url-slug" is read as two words while "url_slug" may be read as one.
What is the ideal URL slug length?
Most SEO guidance recommends keeping slugs under 60 characters and 3-5 words, focused on your target keywords. Use the max length option to enforce a limit automatically.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Every slug is generated locally in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you type is ever sent to a server.
