Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about generating SEO-friendly URL slugs.

What is a URL slug?+

A URL slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page. Good slugs are short, lowercase, and use hyphens. For example, in getpdfmint.com/tools/json-formatter, the slug is json-formatter.

What are stop words and why remove them?+

Stop words are common words like a, the, and, is, of that add no SEO value. Removing them makes slugs shorter and keyword-focused. how-to-bake-a-chocolate-cake becomes bake-chocolate-cake.

What is symbol transliteration?+

Transliteration converts special characters to readable text instead of deleting them. & becomes and, @ becomes at, $ becomes dollars.

What is file name mode?+

File name mode strips extensions before slugifying. Resume_v1.pdf becomes resume-v1 instead of resume-v1-pdf.

Why limit slug length?+

URLs perform better in search engines when concise, typically under 60 characters. The max length option truncates at the end of the last full word so no words are cut in half.
