What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a specific page. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens as separators, contain no special characters, and accurately reflect the page content. Example: /blog/my-first-post.
Separator options
Hyphens are the most common and SEO-friendly separator. Underscores are sometimes used in technical contexts. Choose whichever matches your platform's convention.
Why use Slug Generator online?
Slug Generator in the browser saves context switching: no CLI install, no fragile one-liners, and instant feedback for teammates who do not live in the terminal. It is ideal for debugging, demos, and quick checks during code review.

常见问题
- What characters are removed from the slug?
- All characters except letters, numbers, and the chosen separator are removed. Spaces and special characters (punctuation, symbols, accents) are stripped or converted to the separator.
- Are accented characters supported?
- Yes — accented characters are transliterated to their ASCII equivalents before slugging. For example, 'café' becomes 'cafe'.
- Which separator should I use?
- Hyphens are recommended by Google and are the standard for most CMS platforms (WordPress, Shopify, etc.). Use underscores only if your platform specifically requires them.
- Is there a length limit?
- There is no hard limit in the tool. Best practice is to keep slugs under 60–75 characters to avoid truncation in search results.
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes. All Skybin developer tools are free with no account, API key, or usage limits.
- Does my data get sent to a server?
- No. Processing runs in your browser whenever possible. Sensitive input never leaves your device unless a tool explicitly fetches a URL you provide (e.g. OG Validator).
- Can I use this on mobile?
- Yes. The tools work in modern mobile browsers, though a desktop screen is easier for large JSON or PDF workflows.
- How is this different from desktop apps?
- There is nothing to install or update. Open a bookmarked URL and start working — ideal for quick tasks during development or support calls.
- Are there keyboard shortcuts?
- Most tools support standard paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) and select-all in text areas. Copy buttons provide one-click output.
- Does Skybin store my history?
- No. We do not log tool inputs or outputs. Refreshing the page clears in-memory state unless the tool encodes state in the URL.
