What is Slugify?

A slug is the readable last part of a web address, for example the words in my-first-blog-post. The term comes from newspaper publishing, where a slug was a short working label for a story.

Good slugs are short, lower case and contain only letters, numbers and hyphens.

What this tool does

Converts your text into a slug: letters are made lower case, accents are removed, and anything that is not a letter or number is replaced by a single hyphen.

How to use it

  1. Type or paste a title, for example: Crรจme Brรปlรฉe Recipe!
  2. Leave Auto ticked or press the button.
  3. Copy the slug, for example: creme-brulee-recipe, and use it in your URL.

Did you know?

  • Search engines read the words in a URL, so a descriptive slug can help people and crawlers understand a page.
  • Changing a slug after a page is published breaks old links unless you add a redirect.
