How to use the URL Slug Generator
- Paste one title per line.
- Choose whether to remove small words, set a maximum length and pick a separator.
- Copy the slugs into your site or file system.
Tips for better results
- Keep slugs short and descriptive. Three to six words is usually plenty.
- Do not change the slug of a published page without redirecting the old address.
- Use hyphens, not underscores: they are easier to read in addresses.
Limitations you should know about
- Letters outside the Latin alphabet, such as Urdu, Arabic or Chinese, are dropped, so a title written only in those scripts gives an empty slug. Write the slug by hand or use a transliteration.
- The tool cannot check whether the slug is already used on your site.
- Removing small words is a simple list and can change the meaning of a title.
Frequently asked questions
What is a slug?
The part of the address that names the page, like compress-image in example.com/blog/compress-image.
Should I keep the date in the slug?
Usually not. Dates make addresses long and the page looks old when the year changes.
Why were my Urdu or Arabic letters removed?
Slugs here use plain letters and numbers. Other scripts are not converted.
