Paste a title and get back the lowercase, hyphenated form used in clean web addresses. Punctuation and symbols that do not belong in a URL are removed, spaces become single hyphens, and repeated hyphens are collapsed.
A readable slug is a small but real improvement to a page. It survives being copied into messages and emails intact, it tells someone what a link leads to before they click it, and it appears in search results as part of the URL. It will not by itself move a page up the rankings, but it is one of the cheapest things to get right.

Select Generate to convert it into a slug.
Copy the result and use it as the URL path for your page.
Tips
Trim it down after generating. Dropping filler words like "a", "the" and "how to" usually leaves a cleaner slug that still describes the page.
Settle on a slug before publishing. Changing it later breaks every existing link to that page unless you set up a redirect.
Keep numbers if they carry meaning — a year or a quantity is often the most useful part of a slug.
Accented and non-Latin characters are stripped rather than transliterated, so check the output if your title uses them.
URL Slug Generator FAQ
Does a clean slug improve my search ranking?
It is a minor positive signal and it makes links more readable, but no slug guarantees a ranking on its own.
What exactly does the tool remove?
It lowercases the text, removes anything that is not a letter, number, space or hyphen, converts spaces to hyphens and collapses repeats.
Can I edit the slug afterwards?
Yes, and it is usually worth shortening. Just keep hyphens as the separator and stay lowercase.
Why do accented characters disappear?
The tool strips characters outside the basic Latin range rather than converting them, so titles using them need a manual check.
Should I change the slug of a page that is already live?
Only with a redirect in place. Otherwise existing links to that page will stop working.
