Hyphen or underscore?

For page addresses, the hyphen. Search engines read it as a word separator. The underscore is more common in file names and programming variables.

Can I generate several slugs at once?

Yes. Put one title per line and each line becomes a slug.

What is the ideal length?

There is no fixed limit, but short addresses are easier to read and share. Many SEO guides suggest staying under 60 characters, and the tool lets you set a maximum.

Is the text sent to a server?

No. The slug is generated in your browser.

Paste a title and get the clean address for the page: "How to Write Simple Meeting Notes: A Quick Guide!" becomes "how-to-write-simple-meeting-notes-a-quick-guide". You can generate several at once, one per line. Your text never leaves your browser.

Result

Type a title, one per line, to generate the slug.

The text is processed in your browser and is not sent anywhere.

How to use it

Type or paste the title in the first box. For several titles, put one per line.
Choose the separator: hyphen, the most common in website addresses, or underscore.
For a shorter address, tick the option to drop small words or set a maximum length.
Copy the result and use it in the page address, a file name or an item identifier.

What a slug is

A slug is the last part of a page address, describing it in a few words. In "mysite.com/blog/how-to-write-meeting-notes", the slug is "how-to-write-meeting-notes". A good slug is easy to read, remember and say out loud, and gives whoever sees the link an idea of the content before clicking.

Rules the tool applies

Everything lowercase, because some servers tell uppercase from lowercase and that causes broken links.
No accents, cedillas or tildes: "café" becomes "cafe". Accented letters in addresses get encoded and become unreadable.
Only letters and numbers. Spaces, punctuation and symbols become a separator, and repeated separators or ones at the ends are removed.
Apostrophes vanish without leaving a separator: "don’t" becomes "dont".
The default separator is the hyphen. Google recommends hyphens, not underscores, to separate the words in an address.
With "maximum length", the cut happens at the end of a word, so the slug does not stop in the middle of one.

Tips for good addresses

Keep it short: three to five words are usually enough. Dropping "the", "of" and "for" helps.
Put the most important word first and avoid repeating what is already in the site address.
Do not include dates or version numbers if the content may be updated.
After publishing, avoid changing the slug. If you must, set up a redirect from the old address, so you do not lose the links already pointing to it.

Text in non-Latin alphabets (Chinese, Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek) does not produce a slug in this tool, because it keeps only the letters a to z and numbers.
