Slug Generator
What is Slug Generator
A slug generator converts any text into a clean, lowercase string that's safe to use in a URL. It strips accents, punctuation, and special characters, then replaces spaces with hyphens (or another separator), producing something search engines and CMS platforms can read cleanly.
How to use
- Type or paste your text into the input field.
- Pick a separator, hyphen or underscore.
- Toggle lowercase on or off if you need to keep the original casing.
- Copy the generated slug with the button next to the result.
When to use it
Publishing a post titled "Best Coffee Shops in Lisbon 2026"? Paste it in and you get best-coffee-shops-in-lisbon-2026, ready to drop into your CMS's URL field. It also comes in handy for naming files, tagging assets, or building clean slugs for product pages and blog categories.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a slug and a regular URL?
A slug is the part of the URL that identifies a specific page, usually everything after the domain and category. It should be short, readable, and made only of lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Why does the generator remove accented letters?
Accented characters like é or ã can cause encoding issues or get displayed as %XX codes in browsers and server logs. Replacing them with their closest plain-letter equivalent keeps the URL readable and consistent across systems.
Should I use a hyphen or an underscore in slugs?
Hyphens are the standard choice for SEO. Search engines treat a hyphen as a word separator but often read an underscore as joining two words together, which can hurt how your page is indexed.
Can I share this tool with my inputs pre-filled?
Yes. The URL updates automatically as you type. Copy it from the address bar or use the Share button, anyone who opens the link will see your exact inputs ready to go.
