How to turn text into a URL slug
A slug is the readable part of a URL. Here's how to turn a title into a clean, safe one.
Steps
- Open the slugify tool and paste your title or text.
- It lowercases, strips accents and symbols, and hyphenates spaces.
- Copy the slug for your URL or filename.
What makes a good slug
Keep slugs short, lowercase and hyphenated, with accents stripped (café → cafe) so they're safe in URLs and readable in search results. Avoid stop-words where you can.
