What Is a URL Slug?

A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page.

For example:

The slug in this URL is:

best-free-seo-tools

A clear slug can make a URL easier to read, understand, share, and manage.

How to Use the Slug Generator

Using the tool is simple:

1. Enter or paste your title or text into the input box.
2. Choose your preferred separator.
3. Keep or disable lowercase conversion.
4. Optionally remove common English stop words.
5. Optionally remove numbers.
6. Review the generated slug.
7. Click Copy when you want to use it.

The slug updates automatically whenever you change the text or options.

Hyphen or Underscore: Which Separator Should You Use?

For most website URLs, hyphens are the better default choice.

Example:

best-free-seo-tools

instead of:

best_free_seo_tools

Hyphens are easier to read and are commonly used in WordPress and many other content management systems.

The tool still includes an underscore option in case you need it for a specific workflow.

Should You Use Lowercase in a URL Slug?

Lowercase slugs are usually easier to read and help keep URL formatting consistent.

For example:

best-ai-tools

is generally cleaner than:

Best-AI-Tools

The “Convert to lowercase” option is enabled by default in this tool, but you can turn it off when needed.

What Are Stop Words?

Stop words are common words such as:

• the
• and
• of
• to
• for
• in

Some website owners prefer to remove these words from slugs to keep URLs shorter.

For example:

best-free-seo-tools-for-bloggers

could become:

best-free-seo-tools-bloggers

Removing stop words is optional. A slug should still remain clear and understandable after words are removed.

Should You Remove Numbers from a Slug?

It depends on the page.

Numbers can be useful when they are an important part of the topic, such as:

10-best-productivity-apps

However, if the number may change later, you may prefer a more evergreen slug:

best-productivity-apps

The Remove numbers option lets you choose the format that best fits your content.

Does the Slug Generator Support Arabic?

Yes. The tool preserves Arabic letters and generates Unicode-friendly Arabic slugs.

For example:

أفضل أدوات الذكاء الاصطناعي للمبتدئين

can become:

أفضل-أدوات-الذكاء-الاصطناعي-للمبتدئين

The generator also preserves other non-Latin scripts while converting many accented Latin characters into simpler URL-friendly forms.

Does the Tool Handle Accented Characters?

Yes. Common accented Latin characters are converted into simpler equivalents when possible.

For example:

café et création

can become:

cafe-et-creation

This can help create cleaner slugs while still preserving Arabic and other non-Latin writing systems.

What Makes a Good SEO-Friendly Slug?

A good slug is usually:

• Clear
• Easy to read
• Relevant to the page topic
• Not unnecessarily long
• Free from unnecessary symbols
• Consistent with the rest of your site

Avoid adding unrelated keywords just to make a slug longer. The URL should accurately describe the page.

Is My Text Private?

Yes. Everything you enter into this Slug Generator is processed directly in your browser. ByteTony does not upload or store the text or slug you generate.
