Slug best practices
- Use 5 to 7 words. Long slugs get truncated by Google.
- No accents and no special characters (%, &, !). Some servers reject them.
- Filler words (of, the, for, with) can be removed to keep the slug short.
- Underscore (_) is accepted, but the hyphen (-) is the standard Google recommends.
How it works
How the Slug Generator works
The generator turns any title into a URL-ready slug through a fixed sequence: it lowercases everything, strips accents (ç becomes c, á becomes a), swaps spaces and symbols for hyphens, removes invalid characters (!, ?, &, /, commas) and collapses repeated hyphens into one. The output is a clean address, with no accents or spaces, that servers and CMSs read without breaking.
In practice: the title 'Men's Running Shoes — 30% OFF!' becomes 'mens-running-shoes-30-off'. And 'My New Product!' becomes 'my-new-product'. You paste it in, copy the generated slug, and drop it straight into the URL field of your product or category in your store.
Tip for Brazilian e-commerce: build the slug around the keyword shoppers actually search for (e.g. 'mens-running-shoes' instead of 'product-1234'), since the URL carries SEO weight. And never change the slug of a page that already ranks without setting up a 301 redirect: swapping the URL without it kills traffic and breaks old links.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?
A slug is the readable, final part of a URL that identifies the page, like "running-shoes" in shop.com/running-shoes. It usually uses lowercase letters, no accents, and words separated by hyphens. Our generator builds that slug from any title in seconds, right in your browser.
How do I turn a title into a slug?
Paste the title into the generator and it converts it into a URL-friendly slug automatically: lowercases everything, removes accents (café becomes cafe), replaces spaces with hyphens and strips invalid characters. The result is ready to paste into your CMS, with nothing to install.
Why use a hyphen instead of a space or underscore in a URL?
Google recommends the hyphen (-) to separate words in URLs because it reads a hyphen as a separator and an underscore (_) as a joiner. Spaces turn into "%20" and make the link ugly. That's why the generator replaces every space and invalid symbol with a hyphen automatically.
Is the slug generator free?
Yes, Batedor's slug generator is 100% free and runs entirely in your browser, with no signup and without sending your text to any server. Use it as often as you like to create slugs for products, blog posts or categories.
How do I create an SEO-friendly slug?
A good slug is short, descriptive and contains the main keyword, with no accents and no filler words like "of", "for" or "the". Generate the slug from your title and, if it's too long, trim it down to the terms that matter, e.g. "best-running-shoes".
