What is the text to slug converter?

A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a page in a readable way: in example.com/blog/free-seo-checklist, the slug is free-seo-checklist. This slug generator turns any title or text into a clean slug while you type: lower case, words joined by a separator, accents and special characters removed.

Accented letters are converted to plain ones (café becomes cafe, Straße becomes strasse), & is written as and, @ as at, and apostrophes are dropped so don't becomes dont. Letters of other alphabets are kept, or removed with the ASCII only option.

Short, descriptive slugs that contain the main keyword are easier to read, share and remember, and give both searchers and search engines a clear hint about the content of the page. Everything runs in your browser, so even a list of thousands of titles is converted in seconds.

How to use the text to slug converter

  1. 1Type or paste an article title, product name or any page title.
  2. 2Pick the separator, the letter case and the options you need: remove stop words, remove numbers, max length or ASCII only.
  3. 3The slug updates as you type. Put one title per line and you get one slug per line, so a whole list is converted at once.
  4. 4Copy the slug, or download the list, and use it in your URLs.

Frequently asked questions

What is a URL slug?

The last part of a URL that identifies a page, for example free-seo-tools in example.com/free-seo-tools.

Should I use hyphens or underscores?

Hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators, while underscores join words, so free_seo_tools can be read as one word.

Should I remove stop words?

Often yes: short slugs such as seo-checklist are cleaner than the-complete-seo-checklist-for-you. Keep them when they're needed for the meaning.

How long should a slug be?

As short as possible while still describing the page, usually 3 to 5 words and under 75 characters.

Should I keep numbers or years in a slug?

Avoid years and list counts (2026, 10-best) for content you plan to update, so the URL doesn't need to change later.

Can I convert many titles at once?

Yes. Paste one title per line and you get one slug per line automatically, ready to copy or download as a text file.

Should I change the slug of an old page?

Only with a 301 redirect from the old URL, to keep its rankings and links.
