How to use the Slug Generator

Four steps to build permalink-ready slugs instantly.

  1. 1

    Paste your title or text

    Enter a blog headline, product name, or any string you want in a URL path.

  3. 3

    Tune options

    Strip accents, remove symbols, trim stop words or numbers, and set an optional max length.

  4. 4

    Copy slug or full URL

    Watch the live URL preview update, then copy the slug, full URL, or download as .txt.

What is a URL slug?

A URL slug is the human-readable segment at the end of a path — the part after the domain and folders. In https://example.com/blog/my-article-title, the slug is my-article-title. Slugs turn messy titles into clean, shareable, search-friendly paths.

SuperTextTools slugifies text in your browser with a live URL preview so you see the permalink form as you type — not just a raw string in a box.

Why slugs matter for SEO

  • Search engines use URLs as relevance signals — keywords in the path still help
  • Readable URLs improve click-through rates in SERPs versus opaque IDs
  • Short, descriptive slugs fit better in social previews and analytics reports
  • Consistent lowercase ASCII slugs avoid duplicate-content and server case quirks

Slug rules and conventions

  • Hyphens over underscores for word breaks (Google treats hyphens as separators)
  • Lowercase by default
  • Strip accents and transliterate where possible for maximum compatibility
  • Optional stop-word removal for shorter, keyword-dense paths
  • Keep under roughly 60–75 characters when you can

Where slugs are used

Blog posts, e-commerce product pages, user profiles, API resource names, upload filenames, and repository names on GitHub all rely on slug-style strings. Strategies range from auto-generated title slugs (this tool) to hand-crafted SEO slugs or ID-prefixed paths like 1234-my-post for uniqueness.

Multi-language content

English and European languages slugify well with accent stripping and basic Cyrillic transliteration. For CJK and Arabic scripts, consider Unicode URLs (supported in modern browsers) or manual transliteration — automatic ASCII conversion often produces poor results.

Frequently asked questions

Why use hyphens instead of underscores?
Google treats hyphens as word separators in URLs (my-article reads as two words). Underscores often read as one token (my_article). For SEO, hyphens are the safer default.
Should I strip stop words from my slugs?
It depends. Stripping the, a, and of shortens URLs and can keyword-focus slugs. For readable, natural URLs, leave them in. Toggle Trim stop words to compare.
How long should a slug be?
50–75 characters is a practical sweet spot. Search results often truncate longer URLs visually. Very short slugs can work for exact-match keywords but may look sparse for editorial content.
Does this tool handle non-English text?
Accented Latin and basic Cyrillic transliterate to ASCII. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic are not fully transliterated — use native Unicode URLs or manual transliteration for those scripts.
Are slugs case-sensitive?
URLs can be case-sensitive on some servers, but most sites normalize to lowercase. This tool defaults to lowercase to avoid duplicate URLs and redirect issues.
