What does url slug generator do?
The slug generator converts a title into a URL-friendly path segment with a hyphen or underscore separator. You can lowercase it, retain non-Latin letters, and set a maximum output length; a limit of 0 means no cap.

Know before using
Limits and edge cases
- With “Keep non-Latin letters” off, accented Latin letters are simplified where decomposition is available, but other scripts are removed rather than transliterated.
- The maximum length cuts at the character boundary rather than the last complete word, and the tool does not check whether a slug is unique on your site.
