Free SEO-Friendly URL Slug Generator
A slug is the readable part of a web address, like /free-password-generator/. Short, descriptive slugs help both visitors and search engines understand a page. This tool turns any title into a clean slug: lowercase, hyphen-separated, with accents and punctuation removed.
Optionally strip common stop words such as 'a', 'the' and 'of' to keep URLs short, set a maximum length and choose your separator.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good URL slug?
Short, lowercase, descriptive, separated by hyphens, and free of special characters.
Hyphens or underscores?
Google recommends hyphens because they separate words clearly.
Should I remove stop words?
It is optional. Removing them shortens the URL, but keep any that change the meaning.
Can I change a slug later?
Yes, but set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to keep your rankings.
Why use hyphens in URLs?
Search engines treat hyphens as word separators; underscores are not.
Are accented characters allowed?
They are converted to plain letters so the URL stays universal.
