Slug Generator

Key features

• Live slug output that updates on every keystroke — no generate button.
• Diacritics removed properly via NFD normalization, so café becomes cafe and Über becomes Uber.
• Every run of non-alphanumeric characters collapses into a single separator; leading and trailing separators are trimmed.
• Choose hyphen or underscore separators, with a lowercase toggle for mixed-case needs.
• Optional max length up to 120 characters — cuts snap back to the last word boundary instead of mid-word.
• Example chips (accents, punctuation, messy spacing) plus char and segment counts under the result.

How it works

1. 1

   Type your title

   Enter the article title or phrase — the slug panel updates instantly.

2. 2

   Pick a separator and casing

   Choose hyphen or underscore, and toggle lowercase on or off depending on your URL convention.

3. 3

   Cap the length (optional)

   Set a max length if your CMS limits URL size; 0 means unlimited. Cuts respect word boundaries so slugs never end mid-word.

4. 4

   Copy the slug

   Check the char and segment counts, then Copy slug into your CMS, blog post or route definition.

Tips for better results

• 💡Hyphens are the usual SEO choice — search engines treat them as word separators, while underscores can glue words together.
• 💡Shorter slugs (3–5 meaningful words) are easier to read in search results and share cleanly.
• 💡Numbers are preserved, so '10 Tips for Better SEO' keeps its 10 in the slug.
• 💡Already have messy URLs? Paste one in — the decoder-style cleanup works as a normalizer too.
