Slug Generator

Type a title below to get a clean, URL-friendly slug — lowercase, hyphenated, with symbols and duplicate hyphens removed.

What Is a Slug?

A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable way — for example, in example.com/blog/how-to-create-a-qr-code, the slug is how-to-create-a-qr-code.

Why Is It Useful?

A clean slug is easier to read, share and remember than an auto-generated ID or a title with raw spaces and punctuation left in. Many content management systems generate slugs automatically but don't always clean them up well.

How to Use It

Type or paste a title. The slug updates as you type. Click "Copy" to copy it to your clipboard for use in a CMS, blog platform, or your own code.

How to Interpret the Results

The generated slug lowercases your text, replaces spaces and symbols with hyphens, removes duplicate hyphens, and trims any leading or trailing hyphens. Text in non-Latin scripts (such as Bangla) is preserved rather than stripped out, since those characters are valid in modern URLs.

Common Mistakes

Limitations

This tool only reformats the text you give it — it doesn't check whether the resulting slug is already in use on your site, or automatically update any existing page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should a slug match the page title exactly?

Not necessarily — a shorter, cleaner version of the title often makes a better slug than the full title verbatim.

Can I change a slug after publishing?

You can, but it will change the page's URL. If other pages or external sites link to the old URL, set up a redirect from the old slug to the new one.

Does this tool support non-English titles?

Yes — letters from non-Latin scripts (such as Bangla) are kept as-is rather than stripped out, since modern browsers and search engines handle Unicode URLs correctly.

Why were some characters removed from my title?

Punctuation and symbols that aren't letters, numbers, or hyphens are removed, since they often need special encoding in a URL and can look messy.
