- # A Quick Guide to the Free Slug Generator
- A good URL slug is short, readable and consistent, but keeping hundreds of slugs consistent across a site is harder than it looks. Slug Generator is a free web tool that converts article titles, product names and headings into clean URL slugs as you type. This note focuses on accent removal and the workflow around it; to follow along, see [the Slug Generator tool for bulk titles](https://sluggenerator.dev/).
- ## Key capabilities
- - **Separators:** hyphen, underscore, dot or none, plus a lowercase toggle.
- - **Bulk CSV:** slug and URL columns, unique duplicates, and 301 redirects for .htaccess, Nginx and Cloudflare Bulk Redirects.
- - **Transliteration:** Latin accents (é → e, ß → ss, ł → l), a German mode, Cyrillic, Greek and optional Chinese → pinyin.
- - **Code snippets:** copy-ready JavaScript, Python and PHP slugify() functions that match your settings.
- - **Editable stop words:** with Spanish, French and German presets.
- - **Custom symbol pairs:** symbols become words, such as & → and and % → percent.
- ## How to generate slugs step by step
- 1. Open Slug Generator in a desktop or mobile browser; there is no account and nothing to install.
- 2. Paste your titles, one per line (up to 1,000 lines). Slugs appear as you type.
- 3. Pick a separator: hyphen, underscore, dot or none, and set the lowercase toggle.
- 4. Remove SEO stop words using the editable list (Spanish, French and German presets are included).
- 5. Cap each slug by maximum words or characters; truncation respects word boundaries.
- 6. Export the results as CSV or JSON, or copy a matching slugify() snippet.
- ## Use cases
- - **Developer handoff:** Copy a JavaScript, Python or PHP slugify() function that reproduces the settings you chose.
- - **Multilingual sites:** Transliterate accented Latin text, Cyrillic or Greek titles, or turn Chinese titles into pinyin.
- - **E-commerce catalogs:** Slugify product names in bulk with the Bulk CSV tool and add slug and URL columns.
- ## Extra tools
- Alongside the main generator there are extra tools: a 301 Redirect Generator, a Kebab Case Converter, a UTM Builder, a URL Encoder/Decoder, Remove Accents and a Slug Checker. The interface is available in English and 简体中文.
- ## What it is not
- It is not a CMS plugin and not a paid API or SaaS service, and it needs no login. The code snippets do not include pinyin conversion; only the web tool supports pinyin.
- ## Summary
- Slug Generator is free, private and quick: titles in, consistent slugs out, with CSV/JSON export and matching slugify() code. Everything runs in the browser, with no sign-up and no uploads. Open it, paste a few titles and compare the output with your current slugs.
