A URL slug is the human-readable part of a web address that identifies a specific page. For example, in 'example.com/blog/my-post-title', the slug is 'my-post-title'. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens between words, and contain the main keyword of the page for SEO benefits.

Should I use hyphens or underscores in slugs?

Google treats hyphens as word separators in URLs, which is better for SEO. Underscores are treated as word joiners, meaning 'my_post' is read as one word 'mypost'. Use hyphens unless a specific platform requires underscores.

Does the tool handle accented characters like é or ñ?

Yes. Accented characters are transliterated to their closest ASCII equivalents — é becomes e, ñ becomes n, and so on — ensuring the slug contains only URL-safe characters.

What are stop words and should I remove them?

Stop words are common words like 'a', 'the', 'and', 'is', and 'of' that add little SEO value to a URL. Removing them keeps slugs short and keyword-focused. For example, 'The Best Tools for Developers' becomes 'best-tools-developers' instead of 'the-best-tools-for-developers'.

Is my text sent to a server when I generate slugs?

No. The entire slug generation process runs in your browser. Nothing you type is transmitted anywhere, making this tool completely private and usable offline.

What is Slug Generator?

The URL Slug Generator on AiTechWorlds converts any title, heading, or phrase into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug instantly. A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page — for example, 'my-blog-post-title'. Well-formed slugs use only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, with no spaces, special characters, or accented letters. Creating slugs manually from long or complex titles is tedious and error-prone, especially at scale. This tool handles all the transformation rules: lowercasing, replacing spaces with hyphens, stripping special characters, removing stop words (optionally), transliterating accented characters, and collapsing multiple hyphens. Everything runs in your browser — no title text is sent to any server. AiTechWorlds built this tool for content creators, developers, and SEO professionals who need clean slugs fast.
