Slugify — URL Slug Generator

🔒 In your browser

Turn a title into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug.

How it works

Turns a title into a clean, URL-safe slug: accents are stripped (café → cafe), punctuation removed, and spaces replaced with a separator — so your URL stays readable instead of full of %20.

“My First Post!” → my-first-post

Try an example

Text / title

Separator

Lowercase Strict (letters & numbers only)

Hyphens are the SEO-friendly choice — Google treats them as word separators, underscores it doesn't.

Frequently asked questions

What is a URL slug?

The human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page, such as my-first-post in /blog/my-first-post. Clean slugs are easier to read, share and rank.

Why use hyphens instead of spaces or underscores?

URLs can't contain raw spaces, and search engines treat hyphens as word separators, so hyphenated slugs are the SEO-recommended choice.

Is my text private?

Yes. Slugs are generated locally in your browser.

Does the slug need to match the page title exactly?

No, and it usually shouldn't. Titles can be long; a slug should be a short, keyword-focused version. "10 Tips for Better Sleep Tonight" might become simply better-sleep-tips.

Is it bad for SEO to change a slug later?

Changing a published slug changes the URL, which breaks existing links and can lose ranking unless you set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one. It's best to get the slug right before publishing.

🔗 Embed this tool on your website — free

Copy this and paste it into your page's HTML. The tool runs in the visitor's browser, just like here. Change height to fit, or add the optional auto-resize snippet below. Add ?theme=dark to the URL for dark mode.

<iframe src="https://toolhq.dev/embed/slugify/" title="Slugify — URL Slug Generator — ToolsHub" width="100%" height="520" style="border:1px solid #e5e7eb;border-radius:12px;max-width:680px" loading="lazy"></iframe>

Optional: auto-resize the iframe height

Add this once on the same page so the iframe grows to fit the tool:

<script>
addEventListener("message", function (e) {
  if (e.data && e.data.type === "toolshub:resize") {
    document.querySelectorAll('iframe[src*="/embed/"]').forEach(function (f) {
      if (f.contentWindow === e.source) f.style.height = e.data.height + "px";
    });
  }
});
</script>
