Slug Generator

Frequently asked questions

What characters does a URL slug allow?

Safe slugs stick to lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. The generator strips punctuation, replaces spaces with hyphens, and removes accents so the result works in any URL without encoding.

How are accented and non-Latin characters handled?

Accented Latin characters like é and ü are transliterated to their plain ASCII equivalents (e, u). Non-Latin scripts that have no clean mapping are typically dropped to keep the slug readable.

Should slugs include stop words like "the" and "and"?

Short, keyword-focused slugs tend to perform better in search and look cleaner in links. Many editors strip common stop words manually, but the tool keeps them by default so you stay in control.
