How the url slug maker works

  1. Step oneType or paste the title.
  2. Step twoPick a hyphen or underscore, and a maximum length if you need one.
  3. Step threeCopy the slug and use it as the last part of the URL.

What this tool does not do

  • It turns accents into plain letters but does not transliterate other alphabets, so such letters are dropped.
  • It does not check whether the slug is already used on your site.
  • It does not decide for you what the best length is.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use hyphens or underscores?

Search engines read hyphens as word separators, so hyphens are the usual choice for page addresses. Underscores are fine for file names and code.

What happens to accents and symbols?

Accents are removed (e with an accent becomes e), apostrophes are dropped, the ampersand becomes the word and, and any other symbol becomes a single separator.

Is there an ideal slug length?

Shorter slugs are easier to read and share. The tool does not force a length, but you can set a maximum.
