Try it
These are the actual published outputs of the widget. Type a title in any of them; the slug updates as you type. The preview shows a sample site address here.
02 / Inside WordPress
URL slug generator controls in Elementor
Content sets the separator, whether letters from other alphabets are kept, a maximum length, common words to leave out (switchable by visitors or fixed), the address preview and the path before the slug, and every label. The Style tab covers the fields, labels and preview, and the Copy button.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use url slug generator
Writers and shop owners often need a tidy slug before a page exists, and generic slug tools strip Greek or Cyrillic titles to nothing or spell accents differently from WordPress. URL slug generator turns any title into the slug WordPress would make: accents removed, apostrophes dropped, other alphabets kept, optional common words left out and a maximum length cut at a word. Visitors see the full address on your site and copy the slug, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Why is my Greek title kept in Greek?
Keep letters from other alphabets is on, as in WordPress. Turn it off for a-z only.

Leave out common words is on. Untick it or edit the list.
Why is the slug shorter than my title?
The maximum length cuts it at the last whole word.

No. WordPress adds -2 if a slug is already used.
