About This Conversion
URL slugs are the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page. A good slug is lowercase, uses hyphens as separators, contains only alphanumeric characters, and excludes special characters. This tool converts any text — article titles, product names, page headings — into clean, SEO-friendly URL slugs. It strips accents, removes punctuation, collapses multiple hyphens, and trims leading/trailing hyphens. Clean URLs improve both SEO (Google prefers readable URLs) and user experience (easier to share and remember).
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good URL slug?
Lowercase letters, words separated by hyphens, no special characters or spaces, 3-5 words maximum. Example: 'how-to-validate-json' rather than 'How_to_Validate_JSON!!_(2026)'.
Do URL slugs affect SEO?
Yes. Google uses words in URLs as a ranking signal. Clean, keyword-rich slugs perform better than random IDs or overly long URLs. Keep slugs concise and descriptive.
How are accented characters handled?
Accented characters are transliterated to their ASCII equivalents: 'café résumé' becomes 'cafe-resume'. This ensures URLs work across all systems.
