A URL slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a specific page (e.g., /blog/my-first-post). Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens instead of spaces, contain no special characters, and are concise. This tool generates SEO-friendly slugs from any text, with automatic transliteration for Cyrillic and German characters to their ASCII equivalents.
Type or paste any text (a blog post title, product name, or page heading) and the URL-friendly slug is generated in real time. The tool converts text to lowercase, replaces spaces with hyphens, removes special characters, and handles consecutive hyphens. For Cyrillic and German text, transliteration converts characters to their ASCII equivalents. You can customize the separator (hyphen or underscore) and maximum length.
URL slug generation is essential for content management systems (WordPress, Ghost, Strapi), blog platforms, e-commerce product URLs, wiki page URLs, file naming conventions, and any application that needs human-readable, SEO-friendly URLs. Clean slugs improve search engine optimization by including keywords in the URL, enhance user experience with readable links, and prevent issues with special characters in URLs.
The slug algorithm applies these transformations in order: (1) convert to lowercase, (2) transliterate Cyrillic and German characters using a mapping table, (3) replace spaces and non-alphanumeric characters with the separator, (4) collapse consecutive separators into one, (5) trim leading and trailing separators. The transliteration covers Russian Cyrillic characters and German umlauts/eszett.
A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a page in a readable format. For example, in https://example.com/blog/how-to-use-react, the slug is 'how-to-use-react'. Good slugs improve SEO and user experience.
