your-slug-appears-hereWhat this slug generator does
A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page, like the "the-last-lighthouse-keeper" in yoursite.com/books/the-last-lighthouse-keeper. This tool lowercases your title, swaps spaces for hyphens, and strips out punctuation and accents so the result works cleanly in any URL.
How to use it
Type or paste your title into the field above. The slug updates as you type, and a copy button sits right next to it so you can drop it straight into WordPress, Shopify, or wherever your book or blog post lives. There's no save step and nothing to install, so it works just as well for a quick one-off page as it does for renaming an entire back catalog of posts.
A few tips
Shorter slugs tend to perform better in search results, so consider trimming subtitles or filler words before you finalize one. Keep your slug stable once a page is published — changing it later can break existing links and cost you search rankings. If you're renaming an old post, set up a redirect from the original slug rather than deleting it outright.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good URL slug?
A good slug is short, lowercase, uses hyphens instead of spaces, and drops words that don't help search engines or readers understand the page.
Does this tool remove special characters?
Yes. Accented letters are converted to their plain equivalents, and punctuation, symbols, and extra spaces are stripped out automatically.
Can I use this for blog posts and book landing pages?
Yes — it works for any page title: blog posts, book landing pages, author bio pages, or product pages.
