Slug Generator
Turn titles into clean, SEO-friendly URL slugs — accents and stop words handled.
A slug is the human-readable part of a URL — “my-first-post” in example.com/blog/my-first-post. Paste one title per line and this tool converts each into a clean slug live as you type: accented characters are transliterated to plain ASCII (é→e, ñ→n, ß→ss), punctuation is stripped, spaces become hyphens or underscores, and repeated separators collapse to one.
Bloggers and editors use it to write consistent permalinks before publishing, e-commerce teams batch-generate product URLs from name lists, and developers slugify headings for anchor links and file names. Optional stop-word removal drops filler like “a”, “the”, and “of” for shorter URLs. Every conversion happens in your browser — your titles are never uploaded.
How to generate URL slugs
- 1
Paste or type your titles — one per line for batch conversion.
- 2
Pick a separator and toggle lowercase or stop-word removal to taste.
- 3
Copy any single slug from the list, or use Copy all for the full batch.
Why use Nofolo’s slug generator?
Batch conversion
Paste a list — every line becomes its own slug, each with a one-click copy button.
Accent transliteration
Diacritics map to plain ASCII (é→e, ü→u, ñ→n) with special cases like ß→ss, æ→ae, and ø→o.
Stop-word removal
Optionally drop filler words (a, an, the, and, or, of…) for shorter, keyword-dense slugs.
Hyphen or underscore
Choose the separator and lowercase behavior to match your CMS or framework convention.
Copy one or copy all
Grab a single slug or the whole list at once, ready to paste into a spreadsheet or CMS.
Private by design
Slugs are generated locally in your browser — titles are never transmitted or stored.
Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?
The slug is the descriptive, human-readable section at the end of a URL that identifies a page — for example “best-coffee-abuja” in example.com/guides/best-coffee-abuja. Good slugs are short, lowercase, and use hyphens between words.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens. Google has long recommended hyphens because they are treated as word separators, while underscores can cause words to be read as one token. Use underscores only when a system requires them, such as some database or file-naming conventions.
How are accented characters handled?
They are transliterated to their closest ASCII equivalent using Unicode normalization — é becomes e, ü becomes u, ñ becomes n — plus special mappings like ß→ss, æ→ae, ø→o, đ→d, and ł→l. Anything left that is not a letter or number becomes a separator.
Should I remove stop words from slugs?
Often, yes. Dropping “a”, “the”, “of”, and similar filler makes slugs shorter and keeps the keywords prominent — “guide-rome” instead of “a-guide-to-rome”. Keep them when they change meaning or the slug reads badly without them.
Are my titles uploaded anywhere?
No. The slugifier runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript — titles are never sent to a server, so it is safe for unpublished article names and product launches.
