About the URL Slug Generator

- 2Choose the separator and any length limit.
- 3Copy the slugs.
What you get
- Accents transliterated: café becomes cafe
- Punctuation and emoji removed
- Hyphen or underscore separator
- Optional maximum length
- Bulk conversion, one slug per line
Frequently asked questions
Hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens. Google has said for years that it treats hyphens as word separators and underscores as joiners, so word-separated slugs are read as separate words.
How long should a slug be?
Short enough to read at a glance — three to six meaningful words is a good target. Length itself is not a ranking factor, but a readable URL earns more clicks.
Should I include stop words?
Drop them when they add nothing. "how-to-compress-images" reads better than "how-to-compress-your-images-for-the-web".
