What is a slug generator?

A slug generator converts a human title into the clean, URL-safe string that identifies a page: lowercase, words separated by hyphens, accents transliterated (café → cafe), "&" spelled out as "and", and punctuation stripped. "My Café's 10 Best Recipes & Tips!" becomes my-cafes-10-best-recipes-and-tips — or, with stop words removed, cafes-10-best-recipes-tips.

What makes a good URL slug

Stop words: remove or keep?

Removing filler words (a, the, of, with…) shortens slugs and sharpens keyword focus — Google itself largely ignores them. Keep them only when they change meaning ("on-page seo" needs its "on"). Toggle the option and compare both versions; the live preview shows exactly how the URL will read.

Developers: the Case Converter produces kebab-case, snake_case and camelCase identifiers from the same titles. Writers: check headline length with the Character Counter before you slug it — and when the article ships, Kaizen Speech Studio can produce its audio version offline.

Frequently asked questions

What is a URL slug?

The slug is the last, human-readable part of a URL that identifies the page — in example.com/blog/best-pdf-tools, the slug is best-pdf-tools. Good slugs are short, lowercase and hyphen-separated.

Are hyphens or underscores better for SEO?

Hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators but joins words connected by underscores — best_pdf_tools reads as one word 'bestpdftools' to search engines.

Should I remove stop words from slugs?

Usually yes for long titles — dropping a, the, of, and keeps slugs short and scannable without losing meaning. Keep them when they're part of the actual phrase people search.

How does the tool handle accents and symbols?

Accented characters are transliterated to their ASCII base (café → cafe), ampersands become 'and', and remaining punctuation is stripped, so the slug is always safe for URLs.
