What is a Slug Generator?
A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a specific page — in example.com/blog/what-is-a-slug, "what-is-a-slug" is the slug. A slug generator takes any title or phrase and converts it into that format automatically: lowercase, hyphenated, and stripped of spaces, punctuation, and special characters that don't belong in a URL.
How to Generate a URL Slug
- Type or paste your title. Enter the heading, product name, or phrase you want a slug for.
- Choose a separator. Hyphens (-) are the standard for URLs and SEO; underscores (_) are used by some platforms and file-naming conventions instead.
- Copy the result. The slug updates live as you type — click Copy when you're happy with it.
What Makes a Good Slug
A good slug is short, lowercase, descriptive, and uses hyphens between words — search engines and readers can both understand best-pizza-in-chicago at a glance, unlike a database ID or an unreadable string of characters. This tool automatically lowercases your text, replaces spaces and punctuation with your chosen separator, converts accented characters to their plain-letter equivalent (so "café" becomes "cafe" instead of being dropped or left broken), and collapses repeated separators into one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a slug from text?
Type or paste a title into the box — a URL-friendly slug (lowercase, hyphenated, with special characters removed) appears instantly below.
What is a slug used for?
A slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page, like the "how-do-i-create-a-slug" in example.com/blog/how-do-i-create-a-slug. Search engines and readers can both understand it, unlike an ID number.
Can I use underscores instead of hyphens?
Yes — switch the separator to underscore (_) if your platform expects that instead of the hyphen (-) most URLs use.
How are accented letters handled?
Accented and non-Latin characters are converted to their closest plain-letter equivalent where possible (é becomes e, for example) rather than being stripped outright or left as-is, which would break the URL.
Does it remove special characters and extra spaces?
Yes — punctuation and symbols are removed, spaces become the separator, and repeated separators are collapsed into one, with none left at the start or end.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The slug is generated entirely in your browser — your text is never sent to CurePDF's servers.
Is the slug generator free?
Yes, with no account required and no limit on how much text you can convert.
Can I copy the generated slug?
Yes — click the Copy button to copy the slug to your clipboard.
