What is a URL Slug?
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human-readable and SEO-friendly format. For example, in the URL "example.com/my-blog-post", the slug is "my-blog-post".
This tool converts any text into a clean, URL-safe slug by removing special characters, converting spaces to hyphens or underscores, and ensuring lowercase letters. It handles accented characters (like e, n, u) by converting them to their ASCII equivalents.
Creating proper slugs is essential for SEO, as search engines prefer clean, descriptive URLs. This tool processes everything in your browser, keeping your content private and secure.
Common Uses for URL Slugs
Blog Post URLs
Convert article titles into clean permalinks for your blog. A title like "10 Tips for Better SEO" becomes "10-tips-for-better-seo".
Product Page URLs
Create clean product URLs for e-commerce sites. Product names with special characters and spaces are converted to SEO-friendly slugs.
File Naming
Generate safe file names without spaces or special characters. Useful for images, documents, and other assets that need URL-safe names.
Database Identifiers
Create clean identifiers for database records, categories, or tags. Slugs work well as human-readable unique identifiers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use hyphens or underscores in URLs?
Google recommends using hyphens (-) as word separators in URLs. Hyphens are treated as word separators, while underscores are not. For example, "web-design" is seen as two words, while "web_design" might be seen as one.
What happens to accented characters?
Accented characters are automatically converted to their ASCII equivalents. For example, cafe becomes cafe, nino becomes nino, and uber becomes uber. This ensures maximum compatibility across all systems.
What is the ideal slug length for SEO?
While there is no strict limit, shorter slugs are generally better. Aim for 3-5 words that describe the content. Use the max length option to truncate slugs to your preferred length, typically 50-75 characters.
Can I convert multiple texts at once?
Yes, you can enter multiple lines of text and convert them all at once. Each line will be converted to a separate slug, making it easy to generate slugs for multiple blog posts, products, or pages at once.
Is my data secure?
Yes, all slug conversion happens directly in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server or stored anywhere. This ensures complete privacy for your content, including unpublished titles and sensitive information.
