Turn a page title or heading into a tidy, SEO-friendly URL slug. The tool lowercases the text, removes accents and special characters, and joins words with hyphens - exactly what search engines and content systems prefer. It updates live as you type, right in your browser.
What makes a good URL
A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies the page. Good ones are lowercase, use hyphens between words, contain the words someone would actually search for, and drop everything else. Short is better than complete: the first few words carry the meaning, and a slug that repeats the entire headline reads like clutter both to a person and in a search result.
Hyphens, not underscores
This is not a style preference. Search engines treat a hyphen as a word separator and an underscore as a joiner, so free_pdf_tools can be read as a single token while free-pdf-tools is read as three words. Since matching those words is the entire point of putting them in the URL, hyphens are the right answer every time.
Rules worth following
- Lowercase only, because some servers treat upper and lower case as different pages.
- Strip stop words like a, the and of unless removing them changes the meaning.
- Convert accented characters to their plain equivalents rather than percent encoding them.
- Once a page is published, do not change its slug. If you must, set up a redirect from the old one.
