A slug generator turns a title into a clean piece of a URL. A slug is the "tail" of an address after the domain: a title like "How to Build a Design System" becomes how-to-build-a-design-system. Non-Latin text gets transliterated into Latin characters, spaces are replaced with hyphens, stray punctuation is stripped, and everything is lowercased.

This is essential for SEO-friendly URLs on blogs, online stores, and any CMS: a human-readable address looks better, is easier to remember, and helps with search rankings compared to something like /post?id=123. Slugs are also handy for filenames and identifiers where spaces and special characters aren't allowed.

Everything runs right in your browser, and your text is never sent anywhere. Paste in a title, and the slug appears instantly — just copy it.

Frequently asked questions

A simple scheme close to GOST 7.79-2000 / ICAO: characters like zh, sh, shch, ch, yu, ya, yo are mapped from their non-Latin equivalents, and soft/hard signs are dropped.
Readable URLs improve SEO (Google and other search engines weigh keywords in the URL) and user trust. /post/123 is worse than /post/how-to-build-a-design-system.
Hyphen (-) is Google's recommendation: it's treated as a word separator. Google treats an underscore (_) as part of the word, which is worse for SEO.
