Slug Generator for Writers

Turn any title into a URL-safe slug - with optional accent transliteration and stopword removal.

The everyday text work of writing day: how many words, what changed between two drafts, what the markdown looks like before you paste it into the CMS. None of it leaves the page until you copy it out, which matters when the draft is not yet ready for anyone else to see.

What it does for Writers, bloggers and content teams

How to use it

  1. Paste the title or phrase. The slug updates as you type, so you can tweak the title until the URL reads the way you want.
  2. Toggle transliteration on if the title contains accents you want stripped. Toggle stopword removal on for URL patterns like "/blog/the-best-x" -> "/blog/best-x".
  3. Copy the slug. The page also shows the URL with a few common prefix patterns so you can sanity-check it in context.

Common questions

Should the URL use the headline or a keyword?

A short, stable description of what the piece is about, which is usually neither the full headline nor a keyword pile. A headline can be rewritten for a new audience next month; the URL you publish is the one people link to, so make it something you are happy to keep.

Why should I not change a slug after publishing?

Because the old URL is the thing that was shared, bookmarked and indexed, and changing it turns every existing link into a broken one. If a change is unavoidable, keep a permanent redirect from the old path rather than letting it 404.

How long can a slug be?

Long enough to be readable and short enough to survive a chat message without wrapping. Dropping articles and filler words usually does the work, since search engines take the context from the page itself rather than from the URL.
