Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the readable part of a web address that identifies a specific page, for example how-to-use-a-slug-generator in https://example.com/blog/how-to-use-a-slug-generator. Good slugs are short, lowercase, and use hyphens between words.
What makes a good SEO-friendly slug?
The best slugs are under 60 characters, use only lowercase letters and hyphens, omit stop words, and accurately describe the page content. Avoid dates, numbers, and filler words unless they are essential to the topic.
How does the Slug Generator work?
The tool runs a multi-step pipeline: Unicode normalization → transliteration to ASCII → optional stop-word removal → number removal → lowercasing → whitespace to separator → special-character stripping → separator collapsing and trimming. All steps happen in your browser.
Does my text get sent to a server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or transmitted to any server.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in slugs?
Use hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators, which helps with keyword recognition. Underscores are treated as word joiners, so "slug_generator" is indexed as one word rather than two.
What is the ideal slug length?
Aim for 30–60 characters. Shorter slugs are easier to share and remember. The tool shows a warning when your slug exceeds 60 characters as an advisory reminder.
How are accented and non-Latin characters handled?
Accented characters are transliterated to their closest ASCII equivalents: é → e, ñ → n, ü → u, ß → ss, œ → oe. Characters with no ASCII equivalent, such as CJK ideographs and emojis, are removed.
Can I generate slugs for multiple items at once?
Yes. Toggle Bulk mode, paste up to 1,000 lines of text (one item per line), and the tool generates a slug for each line. You can copy individual slugs, copy all slugs at once, or download a CSV file with the original text and slug columns.
What happens if my input produces no valid slug?
If the input contains only characters that are removed during processing (symbols, emojis, CJK), the result will be empty and the tool will display a message: "No valid slug could be generated." Add some alphanumeric text to produce a result.
