INLVL Transliterator is a free online tool for fast and accurate transliteration from Russian and Ukrainian into Latin characters. It generates SEO-friendly URL slugs and filenames, normalizes symbols, removes stop words, and helps keep strings within a defined length. Perfect for content managers, SEO specialists, webmasters, and editors who need clean, readable page URLs and filenames without manual editing.

Why transliteration matters for SEO

  • Readable URLs — human-friendly URLs improve snippet CTR and increase trust in your website.
  • Consistent style — Latin characters in URLs and filenames prevent encoding issues and “garbled” text.
  • Clean indexing — predictable URLs help crawlers and reduce the risk of duplicates.
  • Faster content workflow — automatic slugs and filenames save the editorial team valuable time.

What our transliterator can do

  • Modes: URL-slug or Filename (with extension keeping/auto-adding).
  • Separator: choose your symbol (commonly a hyphen -).
  • Maximum length: limit the slug according to your project’s requirements (60/80/120 or any custom value).
  • Symbol normalization: converts text to lowercase, removes extra spaces, special symbols, and invisible characters.
  • Stop-word removal: optional — for even cleaner and shorter URLs.
  • Privacy: no data is sent to the server — the processing happens directly in your browser.

How to use it — 3 simple steps

  1. Paste a page title or a list of titles into the “Source text” field.
  2. Select the mode (URL-slug or Filename), choose the separator and maximum length, and enable normalization or stop-words if needed.
  3. Click “Convert” — copy the result with one button or download it as a .txt list.

Supported languages and rules

The tool correctly processes Russian and Ukrainian texts using commonly accepted mappings and positional rules. Below are the key replacement pairs that ensure readability and consistency:

Russian (RU) Latin
щ shch
ш sh
ч ch
ж zh
ю / я / ё yu / ya / yo
й y
Ukrainian (UA) Latin
г / ґ h / g
щ / ш / ч / ж shch / sh / ch / zh
є / ї / ю / я ye / yi / yu / ya (positional)
й y

Positional rules apply to letters like “є/ї/ю/я”: at the beginning of a word or after a vowel, an initial “y” is added (e.g., єye), while in other positions a simplified form is used.

Examples of transformation

  • RU: Письменный стол с надстройкой 120×60 смpismennyj-stol-s-nadstrojkoj-120x60-sm
  • UA: Письмовий стіл з надбудовою (білий) — №5!.jpgpysmovyj-stil-z-nadbudovoyu-bilyj-5.jpg
  • RU (filename): Набор фото — июнь 2025.pngnabor-foto-iyun-2025.png

Practical SEO-URL tips

  • Keep URLs within 60–80 characters for key pages — this keeps them short and clickable.
  • Use a hyphen as a separator — it’s the most natural choice for both search engines and users.
  • Avoid stop-words in the middle of a URL (unless meaningful), but don’t sacrifice readability.
  • Maintain stability: don’t change slugs of indexed pages without a proper 301 redirect.
  • For filenames, add meaningful context: gaming-desk-zeus-120.jpg instead of IMG_1234.jpg.

Who will benefit from it

  • SEO specialists — fast, clean URLs for categories, articles, tags, and filters.
  • Content managers — bulk title processing in one click, preset length options.
  • Developers and webmasters — predictable paths and filenames for builds and imports.
  • Marketers — UTM-friendly and readable links for campaigns.
