Stop word removal turns "How to Build a Website for Free" into "build-website-free" — a much cleaner, denser URL. Brilliant option.

The underscore option is great for our legacy system. Every other free tool only does hyphens. This one covers both.

❓ FAQ

What is a URL slug?+
A URL slug is the human-readable page identifier in a URL. In "example.com/blog/how-to-bake-bread", the slug is "how-to-bake-bread". Slugs use lowercase, numbers and hyphens — no spaces or special characters.
Why hyphens over underscores?+
Google treats hyphens as word separators in URLs. The URL "how-to-bake-bread" is parsed as four words. "how_to_bake_bread" is parsed as one word: "howtobakebread". For SEO, hyphens are strongly preferred.
What are stop words and should I remove them?+
Stop words are common low-value words: the, a, an, and, of, in, for, on, at, to. Removing them produces shorter, keyword-denser slugs. Whether to remove them is a preference — some SEOs prefer natural-language slugs, others prefer compact ones.
How are accented characters handled?+
Accented characters are transliterated to their nearest ASCII equivalent: é→e, ü→u, ñ→n, ç→c, etc. This ensures the slug is valid in all URL contexts without percent-encoding.
What is the recommended maximum slug length?+
Most SEO practitioners recommend under 60 characters. Long URLs are harder to share and slightly harder to read. Our tool defaults to 60 with an adjustable maximum.
Can I generate slugs for non-English titles?+
Accented Latin characters are transliterated. Non-Latin scripts (Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic) are removed since they require percent-encoding in URLs.
Does slug format affect SEO?+
URL structure is a minor but real SEO factor. Best practices: use hyphens, include the target keyword, keep it short, avoid stop words and special characters, use all lowercase.
Is my text private?+
Yes. All slug generation runs in browser JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
