Turn any text into a clean URL slug

The slug generator converts any title, heading or sentence into a URL-friendly slug — the short, hyphenated string you see at the end of a web address. It strips accents, removes punctuation, collapses spaces, and joins words with your chosen separator so the result is safe to use in a permalink, file name or database key.

Clean slugs are good for SEO and readability: how-to-bake-bread is friendlier thanHow To Bake Bread!. Choose a separator, optionally drop common stop words like "the" and "and", and cap the length to keep slugs concise.

Options

• Separator — hyphen, underscore, dot or tilde.
• Lowercase — force the whole slug to lower case.
• Strip accents — turn café, naïve and résumé into cafe, naive and resume.
• Remove stop words — drop filler words like a, the, and, of.
• Max length — truncate the slug without leaving a trailing separator.
