Slug Generator

What makes a good slug

A slug is part of the address people see in search results, share in messages and type into the browser. The safest slugs follow a few rules:

• Lowercase only. Most servers treat /Blog/ and /blog/ as different pages, which splits links and creates duplicates.
• Hyphens between words. No spaces (they become %20), no underscores for public pages.
• ASCII letters and digits. Accented or Cyrillic letters work in modern browsers but turn into long %D0%B6 sequences when copied.
• Short and descriptive. Keep the main keyword, drop dates and filler unless they matter.

This generator applies all of them at once and trims separators from both ends, so “–Hello–” becomes “hello”.

Transliteration rules

Russian and Ukrainian are transliterated in a practical, search-friendly style rather than an academic one: ж → zh, ц → ts, ч → ch, ш → sh, щ → shch, ю → yu, я → ya, ы → y, й → y, and the hard and soft signs disappear. Ukrainian і, ї and є become i, yi and ye. Latin letters lose their accents through Unicode decomposition, so the Spanish, French, German, Polish and Turkish alphabets all reduce to clean a–z.

Common mistakes

• Changing a slug after publishing. The old URL breaks and loses its links. If you must change it, add a 301 redirect from the old address.
• Copying the full title. “The Ultimate Complete Guide to Baking Bread at Home in 2026” makes a slug that is cut off in search results; “baking-bread-at-home” is better.
• Keeping case. The Lowercase option is there for file names and code; for web pages leave it on.
• Leaving symbols in. & or # inside a URL changes its meaning; the generator removes them.

Bulk slugs

Paste a whole list of titles, one per line, and every line becomes its own slug in the same order. Empty lines stay empty, so the output lines up with a spreadsheet column.
