Slug Generator
Turn a headline into a URL that works everywhere. Accented characters are converted rather than deleted, so 'São Paulo' becomes 'sao-paulo' instead of 'so-paulo'. Punctuation and symbols are stripped, spaces become your chosen separator, and you can process a whole list of titles at once.
Shortens the slug, but only drop words the page does not need to rank for.
Nothing is uploaded — this tool runs inside your browser, so your files never leave your device.
Why use this tool
- Converts accents properly — 'Café' becomes 'cafe', not 'caf'

How it works

Slug Generator — frequently asked questions
Hyphens. Google treats a hyphen as a word separator and an underscore as a word joiner, so 'red-shoes' reads as two words while 'red_shoes' can be read as one. Hyphen is the default here for that reason.
