Everything you need to know about URL slugs
What is a URL slug?
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a title or phrase — lowercase, hyphens instead of spaces, no special characters — the part of a URL that comes after the domain, like `/how-to-compress-a-pdf` for a blog post titled "How to Compress a PDF."
When you actually need this
- Publishing a blog post or page and needing a clean, readable URL instead of one with spaces or special characters.
- Standardizing URLs across a site that's had inconsistent slug formatting.
Why slugs matter for SEO
A clean, descriptive slug is both more readable for humans sharing a link and a minor positive signal for search engines, compared to a URL full of encoded spaces or random IDs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to accented characters, like é or ñ?
They're normalized down to their plain-letter equivalent (é becomes e, ñ becomes n) rather than being stripped out entirely or left as broken characters in the URL.
Does this allow underscores or other special characters?
No — only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens remain in the output; everything else, including underscores, punctuation, and symbols, is removed.
What happens with multiple spaces or existing dashes in my text?
They're all collapsed into single hyphens, so "Hello World -- Test" becomes a single clean slug like hello-world-test.
Does this tool send my text to a server?
Yes — it's sent to our servers to generate the slug and the result is returned to you; nothing is stored.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes — completely free, with no signup and no usage limits for casual use.
