SEO Slug Generator & URL Encoder/Decoder

How to create an SEO slug (3 steps)

1. Paste your headline — the tool converts it to a clean kebab-case slug, lowercasing and stripping accents.
2. Toggle stop-word removal to drop "the", "and", "for" etc. — shorter slugs usually read better and rarely lose relevance.
3. Use the URL encoder/decoder for query strings, Unicode characters, or when a URL bites you with %20.

FAQ

• Should slugs contain keywords? Yes — one or two meaningful words describing the page. /image-compressor beats /tool-7 for both users and search engines.
• Can I change a slug after publishing? You can, but 301-redirect the old URL — changing slugs without redirects breaks links and loses the ranking the old URL earned.
• Why remove stop words? They add length without meaning. Search engines ignore them anyway, so shorter slugs are cleaner in shares, bookmarks, and the SERP display.
