Convert headlines, product names or article titles into clean, lowercase, hyphenated URL slugs that search engines and humans can read. Accents are transliterated, punctuation is stripped and you control the separator and word limit.
A bilingual blog publishes "Créer une stratégie SEO en 2026". Pasting the title straight into the CMS produces a URL full of percent-encoded accents that looks broken when shared and gets truncated in search results.
The slug generator returns creer-une-strategie-seo-en-2026 — readable, shareable and keyword-bearing. The editorial team standardises on generating the slug before publishing, because changing a URL later means setting up redirects and losing accumulated ranking signals.
The title is Unicode-normalised (NFD) and combining marks are stripped, so é becomes e and ü becomes u rather than being dropped. Remaining non-alphanumeric characters collapse into a single separator, leading and trailing separators are trimmed, and the whole string is lowercased.
Optional word limiting keeps the first N meaningful words, and stop-word removal drops filler like "the", "a" and "de" so the slug stays short and keyword-dense.
Hyphens are the default separator because search engines treat them as word boundaries while underscores join words together — a small choice that affects how the URL is tokenised.
Slug generation options compared:
| Tool | How it works | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| CMS auto-slug (WordPress) | Derives the slug from the title on save. | Keeps stop words and can produce very long URLs; non-Latin titles may become empty or encoded. |
| slugify npm package | Programmatic slugs in your build or API. | The right answer inside an app; not helpful when an editor just needs one slug now. |
| ToolZone Slug Generator | Paste a title, control separator, word limit and stop words, copy the slug. | Manual per title, and it cannot check whether the slug already exists on your site. |
Keep it short and descriptive — usually 3 to 5 meaningful words. Long slugs get truncated in search results and are harder to share.
Google treats hyphens as word separators and underscores as joiners, so hyphens are the SEO-safe choice.
