How to use this tool

1. Type or paste your title — the slug updates live.
2. Check the preview URL below it — that's what visitors will see.
3. Copy slug and paste it into your CMS's permalink field.

Example

“The Honest Budget Phone Checklist — 7 Steps!” → the-honest-budget-phone-checklist-7-steps — readable, lowercase, hyphenated, and stable forever.

The formula

slug = lowercase, & → 'and', non-alphanumerics → hyphens, edges trimmed, runs collapsed

What the result means

A slug is the last piece of your URL and a small ranking signal — short, descriptive slugs with hyphens (never underscores, which Google treats as word-joiners) help both readers and crawlers. The golden rule: change slugs before publishing, never after, unless you enjoy setting up redirects.

Frequently asked questions

Hyphens or underscores in URLs?

Hyphens. Google has said outright that it treats hyphens as word separators and underscores as joiners — word_word reads as one long token.

Should the slug match the full title?

No — keep the 3–6 words that carry meaning. 'budget-phone-checklist' beats a 10-word echo of the headline.

My title is in Bangla — will it work?

Yes — the generator preserves Bangla letters and only strips unsafe symbols, so a Bangla slug stays readable in Bangla URLs.

Is my title uploaded?

No — the slug is generated in your browser as you type.
