What is a URL Slug?
A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a particular page in a readable way. For example, in https://example.com/blog/how-to-make-coffee, the slug is how-to-make-coffee. Good slugs are short, clean, and contain relevant keywords — they help search engines and users understand the page content at a glance[reference:0].
How Slug Generation Works
The tool transforms your text by:
- Converting to lowercase (optional).
- Removing special characters and punctuation (optional).
- Replacing spaces and underscores with hyphens.
- Collapsing multiple hyphens into one and trimming leading/trailing hyphens (optional).
- Stripping common stop words such as “a”, “an”, “the”, “of”, “for”, etc., to produce shorter, more focused slugs (optional).[reference:1]
All processing happens in your browser — the text never leaves your device.
Tips for Great Slugs
- Keep it short – aim for 3‑5 words.
- Use hyphens to separate words (never underscores). Google recommends hyphens as word separators.
- Avoid special characters like &, %, or punctuation.
- Include keywords that accurately describe the page content.
- Use lowercase to avoid accidental case‑sensitive duplication on servers.

Is my text private?

What are stop words and why would I strip them?
Stop words are common short words like “a”, “an”, “the”, “of”, “for”, etc. Stripping them can produce shorter, more focused slugs. Use this option when you want to create compact slugs, but be aware that sometimes those words add important context.
