SEO Slug Generator
Create clean URL slugs from titles in bulk. Paste one title per line and get a slug for each: lowercase, words separated by hyphens (or underscores), accents removed, ß, æ and similar letters spelled out, Cyrillic and Greek transliterated, punctuation dropped, and optional removal of English stop words, numbers and years. A length limit cuts at whole words, and duplicates are flagged.

SEO Slug Generator FAQ
Should I remove stop words?
Often yes for shorter, cleaner URLs, but keep them when they change the meaning – the tool keeps them if nothing else would be left.
Should years be in URLs?
Avoid them for content you will update (“best laptops 2026”), so the URL stays valid next year.
Hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens. Google treats them as word separators; underscores join words.
How long should a slug be?
Three to five meaningful words is typical. The default limit is 60 characters.
Hyphens or underscores in URLs?
Hyphens. Search engines treat hyphens as word separators, and they are easier to read.
Clean, readable URLs
The slug is the readable part of a URL. A good one describes the page in a few words, is easy to type and share, and does not change when the page is updated.
Search engines handle non-ASCII URLs, but transliterated ASCII slugs avoid encoding problems in emails, chats and analytics tools, where non-ASCII characters often appear as long percent-encoded strings.
If you change the slug of a published page, set up a 301 redirect from the old URL so links and rankings carry over.
A slug is the readable part of a URL, such as /how-to-fix-a-bike-chain/. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens between words, avoid special characters and describe the page in a few words. Converting titles in bulk keeps the style consistent across a whole site.
Accented letters are reduced to plain letters, letters such as ß and æ are spelled out, and Cyrillic and Greek are transliterated, so slugs work in every browser and email client. Removing stop words like “the” and “of” shortens slugs; removing years keeps evergreen articles from looking outdated.
Once a page is published, avoid changing its slug. If you must, set up a 301 redirect from the old URL so links and rankings are not lost.
