URL Slugify Tool

What is a URL Slug?

A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a page in human-readable form. For example, in example.com/blog/how-to-learn-python, the slug is how-to-learn-python. Good slugs are short, descriptive, and SEO-friendly.

URL Slug Best Practices for SEO

• Use keywords: Include your target keyword in the slug. /password-generator is better than /tool-47.
• Keep it short: 3-5 words is ideal. Remove filler words like "a", "the", "and", "of".
• Use hyphens: Separate words with hyphens (-), not underscores (_). Google treats hyphens as word separators.
• Lowercase only: URLs are case-sensitive on most servers. Always use lowercase to avoid duplicate content issues.
• No special characters: Avoid spaces, accents, and symbols. They get percent-encoded (%20, %C3%A9) and look ugly in URLs.
• No dates: Avoid putting dates in URLs unless the content is genuinely time-specific. Dateless URLs feel evergreen.
• Match the page title: The slug should closely reflect the page's H1 heading.

How This Tool Works

Paste any text and it's converted to a clean URL slug: lowercase, spaces replaced with hyphens, special characters and accents removed, consecutive hyphens collapsed, and leading/trailing hyphens stripped.
