About this tool
What slugification does
The tool converts any title into a URL-safe slug: lowercase, accents transliterated to their base letters, spaces and symbols converted to hyphens, consecutive separators collapsed, and leading or trailing hyphens trimmed. The output is safe to paste into any URL or route.
Why slugs matter for search
Slugs are a ranking signal and a trust signal: descriptive-hyphenated slugs tell users and search engines what the page is before the click. Stable slugs also matter after publication — changing a live URL breaks every link pointing at it, so pick well once.
Transliteration for non-ASCII titles
Accented and non-Latin titles transliterate to their closest ASCII forms — café becomes cafe, über becomes uber — so URLs stay typeable and universally readable. For multilingual sites, decide per language whether to transliterate or keep native characters, and stay consistent.
Frequently asked questions
Should slugs keep stop words like "the" and "of"?
Shorter slugs read cleaner, but natural phrasing wins — remove stop words only when the slug gets unwieldy. Descriptive beats truncated.
Can slugs contain numbers?
Yes — digits are URL-safe and meaningful for dated or numbered content. The tool keeps them exactly as written.
Should I change a slug after publishing?
Avoid it — every existing link and search ranking points at the current slug. If you must change it, set up a redirect from the old URL to the new one.
