What Is a Text to Slug Converter?
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a title or heading. It converts human-readable text like “My Blog Post Title!” into a clean, lowercase, hyphenated string like “my-blog-post-title” that can be used in web addresses. Good slugs improve SEO, readability, and link sharing.
This tool runs entirely in your browser. No text is sent to any server, making it safe to use with unpublished titles, internal project names, or any sensitive content.

Features Explained
Separator Options
▼
Choose between hyphen (-), underscore (_), dot (.), or a custom separator. Hyphens are the most common for SEO-friendly URLs. Underscores are common in file names and programming. Dots are used in some CMS platforms.
Case Conversion
▼
"lower" converts everything to lowercase (recommended for URLs). "UPPER" converts to uppercase. "As Is" preserves the original case. Most SEO best practices recommend lowercase slugs.
Stop Word Removal
▼
Removes common filler words like "the", "and", "is", "of" from the slug. This makes slugs shorter and more focused on keywords. For example, "The Art of War" becomes "art-war" instead of "the-art-of-war".
Max Length
▼
Set a maximum character length for slugs. The tool truncates at word boundaries so words are never cut in half. Google recommends keeping URLs under 60 characters for best SEO results.
Batch Mode
▼
Convert multiple titles to slugs at once. Enter one title per line, and get all slugs generated simultaneously. Copy all slugs or all full URLs with a single click.
Editable Slug & URL Preview
▼
In single mode, you can directly edit the generated slug for fine-tuning. The URL preview shows exactly how the slug will look in a real web address with your custom base URL.
Transliteration
▼
Accented and special characters are automatically converted to their ASCII equivalents. For example, "café" becomes "cafe", "ñ" becomes "n", and "ß" becomes "ss". This ensures slugs work in all browsers and servers.

Slug Best Practices
| Practice | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Use lowercase | Always use lowercase for consistency and SEO |
| Use hyphens as separators | Google treats hyphens as word separators, not underscores |
| Keep it short | 3–5 words or under 60 characters is ideal |
| Include target keywords | Put important keywords early in the slug |
| Remove stop words | "best-coffee-shops" is better than "the-best-coffee-shops-in-town" |
| Avoid special characters | Stick to letters, numbers, and hyphens only |
| Use ASCII characters | Transliterate accented characters for maximum compatibility |
| Make it readable | A human should understand the page topic from the slug alone |
| Don't change published slugs | Changing slugs breaks existing links and hurts SEO |
| Match the page title | The slug should closely reflect the page title or heading |
Tips for Better Slugs
Remove stop words for SEO
Shorter slugs rank better. Enable stop word removal to strip filler words like "the", "and", "of" and keep only meaningful keywords.
Set a max length
Google displays roughly 60 characters in search results. Set max length to 60 or less to ensure your full slug is visible in SERPs.
Use batch mode for migrations
When migrating a website or importing content, paste all your titles in batch mode to generate all slugs at once.
Edit slugs for precision
Auto-generated slugs are a great starting point. Fine-tune them by editing directly — remove redundant words or add a missing keyword.
Consistent separators
Pick one separator style and stick with it across your entire site. Mixing hyphens and underscores looks unprofessional and confuses search engines.
Preview with your actual domain
Replace the example base URL with your real domain to see exactly how the final URL will look before publishing.
