URL Slug Generator

Turn a headline into a clean, lowercase, hyphenated URL slug in one paste.

Options
60

A URL slug should be short, lowercase, hyphenated and free of anything that needs percent-encoding. Doing that by hand is easy to get subtly wrong — an accented character that encodes into gibberish, a trailing hyphen, a slug so long it gets truncated in search results. Paste one headline or a whole list and get properly formed slugs back, one per line.

How to Use the URL Slug Generator

  1. 1

    Paste a headline, or a whole list of them one per line.

  2. 2

    Choose hyphens or underscores, and set a maximum length.

  3. 3

    Optionally drop filler words like “the” and “of” for a shorter slug.

  4. 4

    Copy the slugs straight into your CMS.

Why Use TextsPro

Everything runs locally, so an unpublished editorial calendar never reaches a server. Accented characters are normalised rather than dropped, so “Café” becomes “cafe” instead of “caf” — the mistake most hand-rolled slugifiers make. Truncation happens at a word boundary rather than mid-word, so a capped slug still reads as words. Filler-word removal is offered but off by default, because dropping them shortens a slug at the cost of readability and that trade-off should be yours. Paste a whole list and every line is converted at once.
